Indoor rock climbing has become quite popular in recent years as the rise of extreme sports continues to grow. Similar to regular rock climbing, indoor climbing requires strength, endurance, agility and balance in order to cope with the physical challenge that is presented. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing differ in the level of danger though, as the risk for injury or fatality is much lower for a climber on an indoor climbing wall. Climbing walls are often used to teach beginners how to rock climb, or for experienced rock climbers to sharpen their skills without having to drive to another location.
