I think rock climbing is popular because there is a segment of the sport that has become a lot like surfing, snowboarding, or skateboarding. It also attaches with it an amazing pop culture appeal. There are many amazing athletes that you see on the covers of sports magazines doing stuff like rock climbing and as a result, rock climbing has become more and more popular. Rock climbing is also extremely accessible. You can have a really good time with a pretty limited amount of equipment and some motivation. There is also a lot of competition in the outdoor industry related with rock climbing, which adds to its popular image. Rock climbing is a challenging sport that involves alot of motivation, dedication, and perserverance and I think that is why rock climbing is so popular and appealing.
