Status: de facto

The tag sport=climbing marks elements and the general location to represent natural climbing sites ([W] climbing areas, sectors, [W] crags, frozen waterfalls, etc.) or artificial climbs (climbing walls, indoor climbing halls, etc.).

Mapping of particular routes as well as many other details (grade, bolting, route length etc.) is described in the article climbing. Meta data like amount of routes, grades, links to operators/topos etc. are considered to enable a wide range of use of the data; e.g. a search for rocks matching user defined criteria.

How to map

sport=climbing should be preferably applied to node nodes for artificial climbing walls and on way ways in conjunction with natural=cliff or area areas for climbing halls with building=yes. The scheme also applies to boulders attached to bedrock natural=rock and free standing boulders natural=stone.
