Free climbing is a climbing style where climbers only rely on their hands, feet, or entire bodies to reach heights. This practice is commonly found in the open, such as natural cliffs or artificial walls. Free climbing will be equipped with a rope as a safety if the climber falls.
Bouldering is a type of climbing that goes through short paths without using the main safety rope. Usually this climbing uses a crash pad or mattress as protection or security if it falls. Bouldering can be done outdoors such as on natural cliffs or indoors such as artificial walls.
Lead climbing is a type of climbing that uses a rope and is done by two people or more. In this climbing, there is someone who has to climb the first (lead) to install security for other climbers. Lead climbing uses a harnes attached to a rope and connected to a Belyer (next climber). This sport can be done in the open or on an artificial wall.
