A recently published national study in the United States called “Outdoor Recreation Trends & Futures” has just revealed that rock climbing is now included in the top 5 activities for growth. They survey that was conduced across 2060 participants concluded the following:

"Challenge Activities like mountain climbing, rock climbing & caving are projected to grow 50-86% in this period."

The craze for this skillful adventure activity has found its heartfelt fans and even claimed lives of some who tried to push it beyond boundaries (R.I.P- Todd Skinner, John Bachar & free soloist Dan Osman). No matter what the dangers involved in this extreme sport, rock climbers often find themselves tempted by head spinning heights & rock faces that can dizzy put the toughest men. I believe, it’s the adrenaline pumps faster in their bodies than us normal folks.

Some of the best rock climbers in the world are only the best because they have time and again set records & inspiration for a sport that has grown into a frenzy all over the world (more than 10 million participants between
2005-09!). Needless to say this rock climbing calls out only the men with guts and little glory. Dan Osman was a carpenter in real life & lived the life of a nomad even though he was one of the best climbers of our time.

Here’s a list of the ten best rock climbers on this planet…

1. Chris Sharma

3. Catherine Destivelle
