the style of climbing (= moving on rocks, up mountains, or up special walls as a sport) in which climbers use devices that have already been fixed to the rock, rather than using devices that they bring with them and remove after the climb

Sport climbing began as a form of traditional climbing in the mid 80s, and is now a sport in its own right.
