Crag

In lead climbing and sports climbing, a crag refers to a steep or rugged cliff or rock face that is a popular location for rock climbing. Crags vary in size and difficulty and often feature multiple climbing routes with fixed anchors or bolts. Climbers visit crags to practice and challenge their skills in a natural outdoor setting.

Examples

In lead climbing and sports climbing, a "crag" refers to a climbing area with rock faces suitable for climbing. It includes bolted routes where climbers can attach their quickdraws and progress upwards. Popular crags often feature multiple routes of varying difficulties. Typical sports climbing crags are equipped with fixed anchors for safety and convenience, allowing climbers to focus on technique rather than protection placement.
