Status: de facto

The tag sport=climbing marks elements and the general location to represent natural climbing sites ([W] climbing areas, sectors, [W] crags, frozen waterfalls, etc.) or artificial climbs (climbing walls, indoor climbing halls, etc.).

Mapping of particular routes as well as many other details (grade, bolting, route length etc.) is described in the article climbing. Meta data like amount of routes, grades, links to operators/topos etc. are considered to enable a wide range of use of the data; e.g. a search for rocks matching user defined criteria.

How to map

Main article: Climbing - a feature page summarizing many tags of climbing-related details.

sport=climbing may be used in one of those combinations:

Tag Element Description
sport=climbing+leisure=sports_centre node artificial climbing walls
sport=climbing+natural=cliff way outdoor climbing without further hierarchy
sport=climbing+building=yes area climbing halls indoor
for outdoor climbing with hierarchies:
sport=climbing+climbing=route_bottom node outdoor start of routes when the exact route is unknow, or the rock face is almost vertical
sport=climbing+climbing=route wayrelation outdoor route with specific geometry (often longer routes, or multi-pitch)
sport=climbing+climbing=crag noderelation outdoor crags (which may contain the routes)
sport=climbing+climbing=area relation outdoor climbing areas, as a site relation containing sub areas or crags.

More details may be added - see the Climbing page.


The scheme also applies to boulders attached to bedrock natural=rock and free standing boulders natural=stone.

Note for data consumers (developers)

Mind that for displaying climbing features on a map, it is advised to look for the both climbing=* or sport=climbing as a root elements, because one of them may be missing.

See for example, how it is done for the vector climbingTiles in the openclimbing.org map – overpass query.
