What rock climbing is in the Olympics?
The Olympic program for sport climbing consists of three disciplines: speed, bouldering and lead. It’s similar to what people see on indoor recreational walls, but it’s a bit more technical. Bouldering, on the other hand, is more of an endurance sport. It’s not as technical as speed climbing, and it doesn’t require as much strength.
But it does require a great deal of strength and endurance, which is what makes it so difficult to master. The best boulderers in the world are the ones who have mastered the art of lead climbing. They can do it for hours at a time, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year.
That’s the kind of endurance you need to be able to do in order to compete at the highest level of competition. And that’s what we’re looking for in our athletes. We want them to have the strength, the endurance and the mental fortitude to get to the top of the mountain.
