Is buildering climbing just buildings, or cracks on some bridges, or climbing under bridges on overhangs. I've only heard this term used a few times, and seen only pictures of people climbing on houses and stuff. Just curious.

I consider climbing anything man made buildering. (retaining walls, bridges, buildings,etc.)

Yes, that can be considered buildering.

Bridges count too. Many Universities have awesome buildering problems.

yeh...id have to agree with those that spoke before of anything man-made...Washington University has some nice problems, and actually my high school has some nice stuff as well. Basically, you're gona want to look in the older parts of town a lot of the time, most likely the inner city, where i live...good $#!& there

If you've ever seen the movie Front Range Freaks, Timmy O'Neill chimney's up University of Colorado dorms. He gets to like the 10th floor.

Is it still considered buildering if you use rope? I consider buildering to be exactly like bouldering, but on man-made structures.
