There are several kinds of climbing techniques which I will discuss in this article, such as:

1. Face Climbing

The technique of climbing is done on the surface of cliffs, where there's still a bulge or cliff cavity which is adequate for the footrest and handrails.

2. Friction or Slab Climbing

These techniques rely on friction as the center style which is usually done on a cliff isn't too vertical.

3. Climbing Fissure

This technique works by exploiting a gap in the rocks and use the limb as the peg. There are some techniques that are often used in climbing fissure, among them, are:

• Jamming, to crack that is not too wide, the fingers of the hands and feet can be entered or inserted in the slit.
• Chimneying, the techniques of climbing on vertical slits wide enough, so that the Agency can go among them and back on one side of a cliff, clinging to the cliff-side legs front and rear, both hands are also the same. Along both legs and arms move together pushed upwards and hold weight.
• Bridging, techniques for climbing on vertical slit width with the position of the legs that straddle, legs as the object and hand Rangers the balance.
• Lay the Back vertical crack climbing technique, hook the fingers on the edges of the slit, and the back tilted in such a way of placing both feet on the edge of the cliff opposite.
• Hand Traverse climbing techniques, on the cliffs with moving sideways. This is done when the place an ideal grip very minimal and climbing vertical already not allowed anymore.
• Mantel shelf, the technique of climbing a bulge-bulge hard (small terraces) that is located a bit high but can be counted on to stand up and place both hands used to draw weight assisted with the movement of the foot.
