Speed climbing

Speed climbing is a competitive sport where climbers race to ascend a vertical wall as quickly as possible. The climbers use standardized routes with designated holds, and they often compete in pairs or against the clock. The walls are typically around 15 meters high, and athletes utilize quick, powerful movements to maximize speed. This sport combines athleticism, technique, and strategy, as climbers must efficiently navigate the route while maintaining safety. Speed climbing has gained popularity, especially with its inclusion in international competitions like the Olympics, showcasing the extraordinary skills of elite climbers.
