The history of free climbing is relatively recent, at the beginning of 1900 Paul Preuss was among the first to give greater importance to the style of ascent to reach the top rather than climbing. In the '50s the American John Gill introduced the basic technical climbing, using the chalk to improve the grip. In short, the climbing is popular in the United States of America and Europe, finding a broad consensus among climbers classics. The climbing is practiced on mountain slopes, mainly on granite walls and cliffs. This is the philosophy of free climbing climb without help with the guards to progress, but does not renounce the existence risk and adventure, the two concepts has always been his climbing. The climbing instead removes the risk from its interpretation, centering attention on every performance. The playing field may be the same as in the case of the cliff, but changed the face of the game: climb to protecting friends, for instance, free climbing, as well as in free climbing in montagna.Quasi a century ago Preuss theorize 'l 'rock climbing at its most' pure, even claiming that they had to go only where it would have been able to get off. Preuss was a fundamentalist in one piece, also a supporter of climbing without a rope, and his death was commented with some irony by most of his contemporaries, believed that the rise was more important than style to climb.
