Overview:

The physics involved with climbing is necessarily implicated in nearly every part of the sport and the action itself can be viewed as a game to fight against gravity: a defining constant of the discourse within physics. From the safety of the protection used, the friction provided by the rubber shoes, to the energy output of every movement towards climbing higher.
This website will discuss each of these topics with an amount of breadth which people not familiar with climbing to understand and become interested and for those already engaged in the sport to hopefully gain some new insight or relief into their technique or the security provided from the protection. In my perspective, climbing with all of its inherent dangers can be made very safe by the combination of proper education and enough practice in controlled settings to make almost anyone a competent climber and be able to enjoy another medium the outdoor environment provides us for recreation. |
