climbing wall, made of stones

How to map climbing wall, as that? This climbing wall is made of stones held together with concrete. Behind a retaining metal frame. Now taged by type='artifical rock outside' + material=stones --Canabis 13:28, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

IMHO leisure=sports_centre, outdoor=yes, climbing:rock=granite (or what it is) shall be fine :)

dry tooling

Should "climbing:dry_tooling" key be added to this list? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry-tooling) for the time being I used the "climbing:mixed", but that is not descriptive, since there is never ice at this area... --Cmakridis (talk) 22:04, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Does it have considerble differences to mixed except the lack of ice? E.g. grading schemes, axes used,... If no, IMHO mixed shall be reused for dry-tooling, if yes, IMHO we shall add it. --Schoschi (talk) 22:11, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

climbing:quality=*

Would climbing:rock_quality=* not be more precise than climbing:quality=* ? --Schoschi (talk) 22:11, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

sport=climbing vs climbing=* and climbing

Both schemes have their merits and are in use, imho no need to decide between the two. Please help to bring the relevant pages into agreement, check for contradicting information, useless duplication etc. RicoZ (talk) 20:18, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Merge with Climbing

I propose to merge the article with Climbing, starting at section 1.2 (Climbing styles). The name of this article indicates that it is about the tag sport=climbing, not about climbing in general. The last line of this article indicates a distinction:

In contrast to sport=climbing, climbing=* focuses on description of detailed information like single routes. 

(climbing=* is redirected to Climbing).
I think that the content would be better understood if these articles were joined. -- Tigerfell  (Let's talk) 09:21, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Is it OK to remove leisure=sports_centre from natural crags?

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dsports_centre

says "A sports centre is a distinct facility where sports take place within an enclosed area. It can be a building (indoor sports centre), just outside (outdoor sports centre) or contain indoor and outdoor sports features mixed together" and the only climbing example it gives is for an indoor climbing gym.

This page has an example with leisure=sports_centre, but it's for an outdoor "Artificial climbing wall".

So I don't think this tag is correct for a natural cliff or rock formation that was not built or modified by humans and happens to be climbable?

For example, in the OsmAnd app, a crag called Ginger Buttress appears as "Sports center" with an exercise icon instead of "Climbing" with a climbing icon, which I think is strange. Brightj (talk) 22:10, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
