What "sport climbing" means in rock climbing

Sport climbing is a style of rock climbing that involves the use of pre-placed bolts for protection instead of placing traditional gear such as nuts and cams into cracks and crevices. The bolts are typically placed in strategic locations to protect the climber in case of a fall, and the climber clips the rope to each bolt as they ascend the route. Sport climbing is popular in many parts of the world, and requires a high degree of fitness, skill, and mental focus.
