Trad climbing, or traditional climbing, is a style of rock climbing where the climber places their own removable protection (such as cams, nuts and hexes) into cracks and features in the rock as they climb. Unlike sport climbing, where permanent bolts are already in place, trad climbers build their own protection and remove it as they go, leaving the rock as they found it. It requires a combination of technical skill, judgement, problem-solving and a good understanding of rock, equipment and safe protection placements. It's not just about getting to the top; it's about managing risk, making decisions and being self-reliant on the mountain.
