Crack climbing

Type of rock climbing

Crack climbing is a type of rock climbing in which the climber follows a crack in the rock using specialized climbing techniques. The sizes of cracks vary from those that are just barely wide enough for the fingers to fit inside, to those that are so wide that the entire body can fit inside with all limbs outstretched. Many traditional climbing routes follow crack systems, as they provide natural opportunities for placing protective equipment.
