Abstract
As every child can confirm, climbing is an instinct that we are all born with. It is rarely necessary to climb to overcome obstacles nowadays, but people could not stop climbing, turning it into a sport and recreational activity. Just for fun, they climb mountains, glaciers and volcanos, or just the same walls over and over in indoor gyms. Learn about how and why people climb, their most impressive accomplishments, and easy and safe ways to try out climbing yourself without having to set out into the mountains.
