Buildering. What the heck is that?

Buildering (urban climbing) is climbing the outside of buildings and other urban/manmade structures.

Quick Warning

This form of climbing can be very dangerous and is usually done outside of legal bounds, which is why it is done typically at night. I know exactly what you are thinking...thanks mom.

But hey that doesn't stop us does it?

I didn't think so.

So why urban climbing?

• Sometimes it is all that is available
• It's fun
• Gives you a different kind of rush than bouldering
• and much more

And when you do go urban climbing make sure that you use a crash pad and some spotters.

Concrete usually isn't very forgiving.
