howdy from /asp/. we have an eternal climbing thread here
>>>/asp/256273>>247911as has already been explained, you're thinking of free soloing. "free climbing", where you support yourself ONLY on the rock, is one of 2 main catagories of climbing, the other being "aid climbing" where you spend time hanging from things that are hooked onto/pounded into the rock.
>>247923as soon as you have access to the gear, and, more importantly, someone who KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING go outside. pulling plastic is fun, but it doesn't compare to the real thing.
and no, toproping is not free climbing.
