Climbers are on top of the world when it comes to enjoying the sport throughout Britain.
From the gentle, roilling hills of the Lake District to the challenging peaks of the Scottish Highlands, there are plenty of places to get a foothold on this sport.
Rock climbing especially is one of the fastest growing sports in the country and the thrill of challenging yourself against the landscape proves irresistible to thousands of people.
But you don't actually need a rockface on your doorstep to get the climbing bug.
For a fun day out or for a bit of practice, check out the hundreds of indoor climbing centres which offer expert tuition and vital safety information for anyone heading to the hills.
