Question

Write the difference between free climbing and aid climbing​

Answer 1

• The term contrasts with free climbing in which progress is made without using artificial aids: a free climber ascends by only holding onto and stepping on natural features of the rock, using rope and equipment merely to catch them in case of fall and provide belay.

Answer 2

Answer:

The term free climbing is used in contrast to aid climbing, in which specific aid climbing equipment is used to assist the climber in ascending the climb or pitch. The term free climbing originally meant "free from direct aid". Aid climbing may be used to study a route or pitch before free-climbing it.
