climbing
A place with walls or vertical structures designated for recreational climbing or rappelling.
A climbing site is a center or other location designated for climbing, rappelling, abseiling, or similar sports. It must include vertical structures or surfaces suitable for challenging or recreational climbs. It may be outdoors or indoors. Climbing centers can have specially designed climbing walls with handholds and footholds on surfaces of varying pitch.
Suitable vertical surfaces or structures must be present for the designated climbing activity. Rappelling and abseiling are included alongside ascending climbs.
The facility can be indoors or outdoors. Purpose-built walls can provide handholds and footholds, while the definition does not require one particular wall construction.
