trad climbing
noun [ U ] uk/ˈtræd ˌklaɪ.mɪŋ/ us/ˈtræd ˌklaɪ.mɪŋ/ (also traditional climbing)
传统攀登（不借助事先铺设的辅助用具，而需要自带登山设备和绳索并在事后撤除）
the style of climbing (= moving on rocks, up mountains, or up special walls as a sport) in which climbers use devices and ropes that they bring with them and remove after the climb, rather than using devices that have already been fixed to the rock
Trad climbing is any climbing that involves removable gear. That's by contrast to sport climbing, which uses permanent gear (usually bolts). 传统攀登是任何涉及可拆卸装备的攀登。 这与使用永久性装备（通常是锚栓）的运动攀登形成鲜明对比。
