Rock climbing as a sport started in the United Kingdom in the 60’s. As the sport grew, climbers found it difficult to get away from work and pursue climbing in the hills on a regular basis. Climbing enthusiasts found it difficult to go far away from the cities after work. Therefore, they improvised methods and attempted the steep corners of buildings to simulate the rock climbing.
Rock climbing is not very different from mountaineering except that instead of snow there are rocks involved in this adventure sport. Rock climbing's most basic features include climbing a rock face, using only hands, feet and a safety rope.
Nepal offers some really terrific places for people who like crawling up vertical cliffs with the help of their finger nails.
