Rock Climbing on the Moon

I just wanted to find out if it was possible to rock climb on the moon, because… reasons.

In Google Earth, it’s possible to switch to the moon, and the resolution of the 3D maps is not bad at all. But I couldn’t find any mountain which is steep enough, so I tried to google.

I found a measurement by NASA, for the south pole at this Link. the steepness of the moons terrain seems to peak out at 30°, which is certainly not enough to do serious rock climbing. The only possibility there is most likely bouldering, which this Apollo-Astronaut is about to attempt:

On key advantage in bouldering on the moon is the ability to do really high boulders and survive most falls without any harm because of the low gravity of about 16.6% of earth.

But there are much more interesting activities to do on the moon:

1. Pole vault (no mat needed / more than 30 meters possible)
2. Long jump
3. Sandboarding (not sure if it will work properly)
4. Rallye (think about the jumps)
5. Moto-Cross (just bring your own oxygen for the engine and you’re good to go)
6. Drag racing (make sure to bring enough friction)
7. Long-throw
8. Long distance hikes (A good hiker does 30km / day, which means to circumnavigate the moon, about 1 year is needed. A good companion is needed! Don’t expect to find any civilization along your path)
9. Ball sports are not advised

P.S.: just found a Harvard Article about future sports on the moon.
