Up Climbing #16
Bimonthly of climbing and mountaineering
Indoor climbing
Once the climbing was only on the rock. But, already since the beginning of 1900, some top climbers began to train dry: tractions, flexions, weights, up to the first climbing on the brick walls and massive railway. Emilio Comici, John Gill, Reinhold Messner, Jim Collins, all pioneers of forms of training and climbing already projected towards the future.
In the late eighties, dry training moved definitively indoor, with the birth of First walls in the gyms, parallel to the first plastic competitions.
After 2000 indoor climbing had a absolute boom, certainly not just competitive, becoming in a short time one of the most loved and practiced sports, both in the cities and elsewhere, with tens of thousands of practitioners of each age, and with a large female presence.
This number of Up Climbing tries to take stock of the situation, with reference above all to Italian indoor, but with flash and focus on places and characters from other countries, from United states to Japan, from Holland to Russia.
We will see how the main cities have experienced the passage From garagewall to large rooms today, we will analyze the methods of attendance, i problemthe connected to education, at professional figures, to the sensitivity of the many neophytes, also following the history and events of famous urban gyms.
The aim is to elaborate a debate and a non -random design that portray the Complex world of contemporary Indoor, with his strength, his limits, his projections on the future.
