Climbing

Rock Climbing Rock climbing is a sport where participants climb up, down, or across natural rock formations or artificial rock walls. The goal is to reach the summit of a formation or the endpoint of a pre-defined route without falling. It requires physical strength, mental focus, problem-solving skills, and proper technique. Rock climbing can be done indoors on climbing walls or outdoors on natural rock surfaces.

The wall features a fixed route with relatively large handholds, and climbers are secured by an automatic belay system. The sport emphasizes speed, precision, and explosivity, with world-class times as low as 5.00 seconds for men (Kiromal Katibin, Indonesia) and 6.53 seconds for women (Aleksandra Miroslaw, Poland). Unlike bouldering or lead climbing, which focus on problem-solving or endurance, speed climbing is a head-to-head race, making it highly spectator-friendly due to its fast-paced, easy-to-understand format.
