should this be merged with climbing wall? Frencheigh 02:52, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Yeh, probably. However I was going to expand to discuss the merits and problems with indoor climbing, which would seem a bit out of place under climbing wall... Not bothered though - if someone wants to sort it out as they see fit I may add to it if it's appropriate. Quiffhanger

Wow has this article been waiting round to be merged since 2005? Anyway I agree with the merger at present. It is tricky to climb indoors without a climbing wall so there is obviously a massive overlap. Probably climbing wall should be a section within this article on indoor climbing though.

[edit] Routes

I'm not sure if this is unique and/or appropriate for this article, but there should be some mention of the way one climbs on artificial climbing walls and the way in which climbing routes are designed adn designated, i.e. with coloured handholds/footholds and rock features for your feet.

[edit] The joys of the climbing wall

An indoor climbing wall in Killington, Vermont, has sparked a new found love of the hobby of climbing between me and a friend of mine! I recommend it as an excellent and highly amusing way of keeping fit. At first my friend who prefers to be known as "the winner" was a little shaky but we both soon got the hang of it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.201.11.74 (talk) 18:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
