climbing areas, sectors, 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

|
outdoor crags (which may contain the routes) |
sport=climbing+climbing=area

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.
