Climbing competitions are events where climbers showcase their skills in various climbing disciplines, such as bouldering, lead climbing, and speed climbing. Participants are judged based on their performance, which includes factors like time, technique, and the number of routes completed. These competitions can take place indoors at climbing gyms or outdoors on natural rock formations. Competitors often range from beginners to elite athletes, and events are typically organized by age and skill level. Many climbing competitions are part of larger series or championships, such as the IFSC Climbing World Cup, which attracts climbers from around the world to compete for titles and rankings.
