Description

Sportive climbing is climbing 'without the aid of artificial means of assistance' and aims to educate the mind, provide displays, and promote competitivity and recreational activity.

The basic principles of sportive climbing involve the application of basic safety measures, both on artificial and natural walls, to ensure maximum protection from possible accidents.
