Competitive climbing is a sport where climbers compete against each other in various disciplines, including bouldering, lead climbing, and speed climbing. Each discipline tests different skills, such as strength, technique, and speed. Competitions are held on artificial climbing walls, and climbers are scored based on their performance, including the height they reach and the time taken. In bouldering, climbers tackle short, challenging routes without ropes, using crash pads for safety. Lead climbing involves climbing higher routes while securing themselves with ropes. Speed climbing is a race against the clock, where climbers aim to reach the top of a standardized wall as quickly as possible.
