Basically the same as the Climbing wall article except without the references. Cj005257 (talk) 21:19, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Climbing wall, especially integrate the photos because these are both visual articles.--Hokeman (talk) 22:48, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• A merge is good because there may be some useful content, and it is a viable search term for a redirect. Bearian (talk) 23:25, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The title is better than climbing wall because indoor climbing is not necessarily on an artificial wall. Other options include rope and ladder climbing or use of existing features such as a stairwell, like so

  • I could go along with that option, too. Bearian (talk) 17:41, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Indoor Climbing is a sport. A Climbing Wall is a type of gear used for the sport. Both should be expanded, but they're as different as apples and pie and should not be merged.  ◉ ghoti 05:37, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Both articles are justified. One is about a popular sport, and the other is about the "playing field" in effect, or the equipment. There are plenty of references available, including several books devoted entirely to the topic of indoor climbing. Cullen328 (talk) 22:21, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
