Eco-tourism in rock climbing aims to reduce the negative impact of climbing activities on the environment, while promoting responsible and sustainable climbing practices.

Rappelling down waterfalls is not typically considered an eco-tourism activity related to rock climbing, as it can have a negative impact on the local environment.

Leave no trace climbing is a set of practices aimed at minimizing the environmental impact of climbing activities, including cleaning and maintaining climbing routes.

Fixed anchors can have a negative impact on the environment, as they can damage rock formations and disturb wildlife.

Traditional climbing involves the use of natural rock features for protection, rather than fixed anchors.

Ice climbing is not typically considered a type of rock climbing, as it involves climbing on frozen water rather than rock.

Free soloing involves climbing without the use of ropes or other safety equipment, and is considered a highly dangerous activity.

Hiking boots are not typically used for rock climbing, as they are not designed for the specific needs of climbers.

Sport climbing involves the use of ropes, harnesses, and other safety equipment to protect climbers in the event of a fall.

Shoulder harnesses are not typically used in rock climbing, as they do not provide adequate support and protection for climbers.

Aid climbing involves the use of ropes and pulleys to assist climbers in ascending a rock face, and is typically used on difficult or dangerous routes.

Bungee cords are not used in rock climbing, as they are not designed to withstand the forces involved in climbing.

Belaying involves using a rope to catch a climber in the event of a fall, and is an essential safety practice in rock climbing.

Carabiners are not typically used as belay devices, as they are not designed to provide the necessary friction to control the rope.

Rappelling involves descending a rock face using a rope, and is often used to access difficult or dangerous climbing routes.
