There are a couple climbs in my local gym that I like to climb 2 to 3 consecutive time for a workout/warmup. They consist simply of 2 opposing walls set 4-5 ft apart, and you just push out on the walls and climb upward, disregarding any holds along the way. I very much enjoy these routes and was just wondering what the specific name is for a climb like this.

The formation you’ve described is called a chimney. Chimney climbing can accommodate many styles of climbing. The style you’re describing is stemming.
