On an artificial wall, holds are usually man-made pieces (sometimes real rock) that are attached to the wall by bolts that go through them and into the wall. Holds are all different shapes and sizes. The configuration of holds on the wall determines the "route," or the path to the top that the climber must follow.
Different kinds of holds have different names. Some are specific descriptions related to the shape of the hold, such as a chickenhead (a round hold that sticks out from the wall) or a bone or a urinal (deep, scooping hold). But there are also broad universal descriptions for how a hold works and how it is used:
Bucket: A big hold, or one that is in-cut, that you can really get your hand into or around.
大的把手点，或是大洞，你可以整把握住或放进去。
Crimper: A crimper is a small hold, just big enough for the fingertips, that you have to crimp your fingers to hold on to. A climb with lots of crimpers is "crimpy."
小点，只能够用指尖施力，必须把手指头弯起来，很多这类点的路线叫"crimpy"。
Downpull: A hold that can be used by pulling straight down. Usually very solid and straightforward.
可以用来垂直往下推的点，通常很牢固且直接的。
Finger pocket: A one- or two-finger pocket is a hold with a depression that you can only get that many fingers into.
一到二根手指头勉强可以放进的小凹洞。
Gaston: A move where one or both hands pull on a hold across the front of the body. Imagine it as trying to open closed elevator doors with one or both hands.
一个必需用一或两只手在身体前往两边横拉的点，就像要把开电梯门的动作。
Pinch: A hold that you squeeze the outsides of in order to hold on to it.
一个你得从外面捏紧才抓得住的点。
Sloper: Any hold that slopes downward so that you can"t lock onto it. Slopers are easy to slide or "grease" off of.
岩面向下倾斜的点，你无法很稳的固定在上面，很容易滑掉。
Sidepull: A hold that"s turned so it can only be used from the side. This kind of hold usually takes trickier body position.
Undercling: A hold that"s held from the bottom, pulling upward.
要从下侧向上拉的点。
Moves
Backstep: Using the outside edge of the foot (as opposed to the front or the ball of the foot)
用脚的外侧边缘（不是前面也不是脚的球形部位）。
Barndoor: The result of a climber getting out of balance, causing the body to swing out away from the wall like a barn door opening.
攀登者失去平衡的结果，导致身体摆开岩壁，像开门一样。
Crank: Powerfully pulling through a hold.
很用力的拉一个点。
Deadpoint: A dynamic move where a climber lunges for a hold and hits it just at the point where he/she is no longer moving up or down. For example, lunging for a faraway pocket, where the fingers need to sink directly in. In other words, there"s no chance of controlling the hold if the climber overshoots (can"t grab it on the way back down), or undershoots.
Dyno: A lunge for a faraway hold. The opposite of a controlled, "static" move. Sometimes also called a lunge.
动态，静态的相反词。
Flag: Where a leg is held out to one side or draped beneath the climber for balance.
一只脚放在另一只脚的后面或为求身体平衡而把脚垂在下面。
Heel hook: Putting the heel on a hold (often above the climber"s head) and rocking onto it.
把脚跟放在点上（通常超过攀登者的头），然后摇罢而上。
High step: When a climber"s foot is nearly as high as his/her hands, or sometimes as high or higher.
当攀登者把脚抬得跟手一样或更高的动作。
Lie back: Using a side pull by opposing the force of the hands and feet; i.e. the hands are pulling one way and the feet are pushing the other.
利用手和脚侧推的反向力，手和脚反方向用力。
Mantle: Where a climber pulls above a hold, or over a lip, then pushes down on what he/she is holding onto. An extremely committing move since it"s very difficult to reverse.
将身体拉高超过把手点，或是超过岩阶；然后同一把手点变成下推，必须要全力以付，因为很难退回来。
Match: Using one hold for both hands. You can also "match feet."
两只手抓同一个点，脚也可以这样做。
Smear: Using the sole of the shoe to generate friction where there is otherwise no hold.
没有其它点可踩，只能利用鞋底产生磨擦力。
Stem: When the feet are very wide apart, sometimes into a "splits" position.
两脚张得很开，有时候就是劈腿。
Elvis syndrome -- when an awkward position held for too long causes a climbers legs to shake uncontrollably.
