Lead Climbing

Lead Climbing is a rock climbing methodology in which the climber ascends while actively placing protective gear and clipping the rope into fixed anchors along the route, thereby establishing the protective system ahead of the ascent, distinguishing it from following a pre-established line or bouldering without rope engagement.
