A rock climbing gym is an indoor facility that allows climbers to train and climb in a safe, controlled environment. Gyms feature walls with textured paneling or molded shapes that are designed to mimic natural rock surfaces. The walls are outfitted with brightly colored plastic or resin climbing holds that are bolted into the wall to create "routes" or paths for climbing.
