Please translate me "rock climbing" on kanji

[iafko69]

Can someone help me?

Tattoo time, is it?

We do not have the word in kanji - unlike Chinese language, there are many words without kanji.
Rock climbing is written in katakana, ロッククライミング.

岩登り what about this?

 

[nice gaijin]

there is no kanji-only phrase for rock climbing. You could say 岩登り and it's understandable, but the common phrase is the katakana ロッククライミング or simply クライミング

In Chinese, it's called 攀岩, which I think has a lovely over-complicated hanzi which would look great as a tattoo, especially as it fades over time.

Perhaps you would prefer a bit of a climbing pun: 石に齧りついている

nice gaijin, please delete some of yours PM. I tried to send you PM, but I could not, because "nice gaijin has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space."

登山(tozan)---- mountain climbing!

ﾅ?ﾃ｢窶徙窶堙ｨ what about this?

That would be like saying "scaling stones" in English. Yes, it means what you want to say according to the dictionary. But nobody says it.

Actually, it is a very common word for mountain climbers. Especially in conversations, we use 岩登り more often than ロッククライミング, because it's shorter and easier to pronounce.
