3) Traditional Climbing

What is traditional climbing? (the short version)
Traditional climbing generally refers to ground up routes, done on lead, at places like Joshua Tree, The Gunks, and Eldorado canyon. This can be face climbing with bolts, or crack climbing or a combination of the two. At one time “traditional climbing” was “climbing”, as that was all there was. Traditional climbing has ethic’s. Traditional climbing is not sport climbing and it is not really aid climbing, but it does include bouldering.
