Indoor climbing is performed on indoor, man made structures that imitate the surface of a natural rock formation.

Popular Areas: Indoor climbing is a popular alternative to climbing on a natural rock formation if you are an inexperienced climber or if the weather in the area you are in means that climbing outdoors would be too hazardous.

This means that in countries that experience cold or wet seasons, or simply do not have the natural rock formations that make climbing feasible, indoor climbing is becoming an increasingly popular sport.

The biggest man made structure is in the United States of America.

Common Injuries: Indoor climbing relies on the agility, strength and balance of a person. It is an activity that poses more risk to certain areas of the body, particularly the upper limbs. Areas that are at more risk of sustaining an injury as a result of the sport include the shoulders, elbows, wrist and fingers.
