ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Rock climbing

Rock climbing is a sport where you use your hands and feet to climb on the side of big rocks (or a wall made to look like a rock). You wear special shoes and gloves that give you more grip on the rock, and you use metal pieces called "pitons" and ropes to keep you safe while climbing. You can also use pieces of metal called "carabiners" to hold on to ropes to help you go up. When you reach the top, you will have a lot of fun and also get a great workout!
