This is a stupid question, but in my Spanish class, the professor is always asking what I did for the weekend. Well, when I ask her what the word for rock climbing is, she doesn't know! So, I'm asking you all, so I can inform her the next time she asks! Muchos Gracias!!

The word Rockclimbing in spanish is "escalada". So when she ask, you should answer "yo estuve escalando"

Thanks to all you kiddies that responded! I'm usually pretty good with Spanish, but not knowing that word kind of irritated me, since it's a part of my life! So, thanks again!

escalar seems so un-specific. alpinismo is a misnomer to anything the avrage rock-climber does, (unless you are sumiting a hard mountian like K2 or Everest) how about something like "escalar piedras" or "escalar rocas" I dont know. I've never heard a word in spanish that I liked to substitute "rock-climbing" but please...dont use the english word when speaking in spanish...it sounds really sucky. I live in Santo Domingo and all of the preps here like to use english names for everything. terms like "bolt","rock-climbing",harness","lead","top-rope","cam","trad.","Carabiner","draw","belay" and heck, even "flashlight" and "sleeping-bag" are often used here instead of the spanish word. with as much of the world's population that is fluent in espanol, they should be able to find and use their own names for these terms. conchele

escalada is the synonym for climbing
escalada en roca is rock climbing
the words match eachother quite nicely I think, "climbing" is just as unspecific in english as in spanish
once we get in to the variations such as sport climbing (escalada deportiva), alpinismo (alpine), etc does it branch out and only someone who knows about the different words is going to know what you're talking about

LAPLAYA:
The problem is that all the dominican climbers who took the climbing lessons between 1996-1999 learned everything in english because the teacher was Chad Wallace. Right now Irving, Quirico, richard and I are the only guys giving the course and we all learned all this terms in english with chad. You are right, we (dominicans) should stop using english terms for climbing and everything, but for now we understand ourselfs with spanglish terms.

Gracias de todos modos.

Here's a challenge for any Spanish-speaking-climber-linguistics-
nerd: Why is the Spanish word for "earing" "arete"? Is there any sort of connection with our definition of arete? Just wondering.
Oh, and "venga" is the command form of the verb "venir" which means "to go". So, the climbers were probably yelling "GO, GO, GO!"

I have a some spanish friends and they not only use "venga" while climbing, but also talking about everything. It´s weird but that´s kind of a general word they use.

Actually the expression "¡venga!" is more like "come on!". In Spain we have a lot of funnny jargon for the same thing. For instance we say "¡Venga bicho!" that means "Come on bug!" or "Vamos jabalí!" that is "Come on wild boar!"...

no queria ponerme mas intelegente que usted pero
venir no es 'to go'
es 'to come'
como 'come on' (venga).
a quien hizo aquella lista de vocabulario de la escalada: gracias, es muy util.
con amor.

In addition to the terms "escalar" and "escalada," I have sometimes opted, with my Mexican friends, to use something simpler, like "subir rocas." They seem to understand. Also, in case anyone is interested, the Korean term for rock climbing is "ahm byuk tng ban."

The word for rock is "piedra"
Subir is the verb "to go up"
So: Subir las piedras - To go up rocks (aka. to rock climb)
to conjugate the verb: Yo subo las piedras - I go up rocks (aka. I rock climb)
to make it past tense: Yo fui subir las piedras - I went to go up rocks (I went rock climbing)
Escalada is correct also, for escalada means "scaling".
