speed climbing
Speed climbing is a competitive form of climbing where athletes race to ascend a vertical wall in the shortest time possible. The climbing walls used in competitions are standardized, typically featuring a height of 15 meters and a specific route that all competitors must follow. The sport requires a combination of strength, technique, and quick decision-making.
Competitors use specialized climbing gear, including harnesses and climbing shoes, to enhance their performance. Speed climbing is part of the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) events and has gained popularity, even being included in the Olympic Games. Athletes train rigorously to improve their speed and efficiency on the wall.
