Early in August, the world will be enjoying the sport that so many of us love! Starting August 5th, climbers from around the globe will compete in one of the summer's most anticipated events. Here's what you need to know about the upcoming competitions.
Based on feedback from 2020, the climbing federation has revised its format with three distinct disciplines: Speed Climbing, Bouldering, and Lead Climbing and champions will be chosen for Sport Climbing (a combination of Lead and Boulder) and Speed Climbing.
Each discipline is scored slightly differently but an easy way to remember is “faster, stronger, higher”.
One of the best things about watching competitions is to see these incredible athletes push the limits of their abilities. Whether you're a seasoned climber or new to the sport, watching competition climbing is thrilling and inspiring.
