should undergo training before starting this activity or else one has to practice under the proper guidance. In the beginning one can start with bouldering practice and then actual climbing. For pinnacle climbing (or wall) one can start with easy grade then medium and then the difficult grade climb. One should learn the different type of rock for the better understanding of the strength of the rock. Then the most important is safety. You should not under estimate this activity. So one must take 100% safety precaution while climbing. Like how safe you are using rope also depending upon your climbing skill. So for this one has to learn the various types of knots and equipment used for climbing. For example the common knots like Figure of eight, Clove hitch, bowline then how & where to anchor. There are plenty of relevant information available on the internet too!

Rajan At Awesomewall LiverpoolArtificial Rock wall Climbing is now days a challenging sports, more & more young people are interested in these days as mountaineering became a popular activity. Such artificial walls are not easily available since it cost more money to build as well special material required for making those holds on the wall. In India you can find such walls at IMF New-Delhi, NIM Uttarkashi, Mumbai, Bikaner. Every year IMF organises such competitions. As the interest are growing more and more in the younger generation these year atleast 5-6 such artificial walls are in existence in Mumbai itself. So the local competition too!

I have been to such walls across the world. The one most I liked is the Awesomewall which is in Liverpool/UK near the University. They had made the church building converted into a climbing site from inside the church. There are many routes with various grades including, a small pinnacle of height of around 50 ft.
