Climbing, previously restricted to mountain practitioners, is becoming popular in Brazilian cities and gaining new audiences. Traditional gymnasiums, with treadmills and weight equipment, are giving way to colorful walls filled with holds, which have become the setting for training and socializing.
The climbing gym has become a true meeting point, bringing together families, friends and curious people who go not only to practice the sport, but also to watch others' attempts, try the activity or simply spend time together.
The sport attracts those seeking, beyond the physical challenge provided by climbing, new forms of socialization. The gym environment allows coexistence among people of different ages and backgrounds, creating a space that goes beyond sports training.
