* [[Mixed climbing]]: Ascending routes using ice climbing equipment where there is both rock and ice (called [[dry-tooling]] if there is no ice).<ref name=WG/>
* [[Mountaineering]]: Ascending mountains, which can involve some rock or ice climbing, but unlike [[alpine climbing]] can involve [[expedition style|support]] and [[fixed rope]]s. 
* [[Via ferrata]]: Ascending mountain routes using previously installed fixed steel cables, metal rungs, and ladders for protection and aid.
* [[Scrambling]]: Climbing rocky faces and ridges, which can include basic rock climbing, but is considered part of [[hillwalking]].
* [[Solo climbing]]: Ascending routes alone; can involve ropes ([[roped solo climbing]]) and artificial aid; where no protection or aid is used, it is free soloing.
