Purpose

Are you caught up in the same boring routine? Maybe you are participating in a couple of different events, but nothing is really giving you that simple joy you once had as a little kid. Well I got the thing for you! Just two words: rock climbing. This extreme sport is not only a bunch of fun for all ages, from little kids that can barely run, to the elderly seeking a thrill of a time, but it also proves to be a fantastic way to continually push yourself both mentally and physically. I am the owner of this brand-new climbing gym, and I invite all to come in and get a taste of the happiness this great sport can give you! Feel free to explore this website to learn a little more about what rock climbing really is and what we can do for you!

Audience

Everyone is welcome! I want people from all ages to come and rock climb with us! As soon as you want your kid climbing, is as soon as we will let them climb at our gym. Some kids can start climbing without you holding them up as young as 3-4 years old! It is amazing what some little ones can do. From there, there is a whole range of ages that can participate and I encourage whatever elderly who are seeking for activities they can still do, I highly encourage hopping into this wonderful sport. Anyone who is looking for a good date idea, wanting to get a good workout in and be sore after words, seeking for something challenging yet so rewarding, or simply wanting to have a blast of a time, I strongly recommend getting interested in rock climbing. Those who are seeking to find out more about this wonderful sport and how to get involved are encouraged to look at our website. You can also find more about us and our company. Our gym is open for the community and public, truly offering anyone who is willing to try something new, or who want to improve in their climbing abilities.

Heading Font: Bebas Neue

I chose this font for the heading because I thought it was a bolder font so it can emphasize the headings more. and also thought it had a tough look to it, which I thought was fitting for the subject of rock climbing. It is still easy to read, eventhough you can tell it has a hardy little style to it.

Paragraph Font: Abel

I chose ths font mainly on the first premise that it is easy to read, which is extremely important for the text which will be prevalent most on the website. I appreciate the lighter look to the style of it too, as it gives a contrast to the style of the headings.

What is Rock Climbing?

It’s only the best sport ever, of course! It truly is an amazing activity to participate in. The basic definition of rock climbing is simply the sport in which participants climb up, down, or across a natural rock wall or artificially made one. In one way or another, there are different routes marked that a climber can follow. These routes are usually marked by color of the holds in indoor climbing gyms, and all routes are also labeled off of difficulty. The main goal of climbing is to start where indicated on the wall and if not indicated, you usually just start climbing from the bottom of the wall, and get to an intended marker or destination, which often is somewhere on top of the wall you are climbing. Sizes and shapes of holds including pinches, crimps, jugs, and more, often contribute to how hard a climb is. Other factors such as rock material, steepness of the wall, overhangs, and much more can also contribute to how hard climbing a route may be.

When climbing, there are a couple of equipment items that are used with every type of climbing. The first item is climbing shoes, which are tight shoes your feet that often give you a better feel and grip onto foot holds onto the wall. There is also chalk which its sole purpose to help give you better grip onto the hold of the route you are climbing. Another main point to mention is that there are two main types of climbing, and are the only two offered in climbing gyms: bouldering and top rope.

Top Rope

The first type of climbing that often comes to mind when hearing “rock climbing” is top rope. Two new equipment items are required for this type of climbing: a harness and a rope. A harness is an item that wraps around your waist and each of your legs, and is intended to be attached to a rope, and when it does this, it can support your body without tearing. The rope is wrapped around some sort of anchor at the top of the wall and the two ends hang to the floor where one person ties into their harness, and the other person clips into some sort of belay device whose purpose is to catch the person climbing from falling by stopping the rope from moving. Through this system someone can fall from even 100s of feet up in the air, and never get hurt by a rope simply catching them and letting them fall only possibly 5 feet in the air, never hitting the ground. When top roping, the routes are labeled all the way from 5.5-5.15 in difficulty, with it going from easiest to hardest as the numbers increase. Usually with this type, you just climb from the ground up to the top of the wall or where indicated.

Bouldering

When top roping you can climb all the way from 40ft to hundreds of feet tall, but bouldering is far different in a lot of ways, including this. When bouldering you usually only climb up to 15 or 20ft. This type of climbing includes no rope and harness, and so when you fall, you just fall to the ground, or in most situations, thick matts that ease your impact. The difficulty rating for bouldering go from V0-V17, although most people fall into the V0-V8 range. It is the same thing where higher the number is harder the climb. With these routes being so short, they often have harder moves, grips, and techniques you have to use than top rope, since top rope requires more endurance.
