Climbing, an increasingly popular discipline

Since the 1990s, the practice of rock climbing has become more democratic and now has more than 35 million climbers worldwide. Several forms of climbing are practiced in the vertical world. Outdoor or indoor, on different walls of different difficulties, there is therefore equipment dedicated to each practice.
