Free climb. 15 Foot Pot, Tunnel Cave.

A climb that is safe enough to be done without a handline or lifeline. "Clamber" is generally used for relatively easy free climbs, and can also apply to minimal climbs up a boulder slope. However, the terms clamber and free climb are largely interchangeable.


Verb; to climb a free climb. This must not be confused with lead climbing, which is known as "free climbing" in the climbing world.
