JoshMartini007 2,204 Posted March 31, 2021 #101 Share Posted March 31, 2021 16 minutes ago, Olympian1010 said: No, all three have distinct walls, scoring systems, and climbing styles (though Boulder and Lead are somewhat similar). Most gyms will have Boulder and Lead walls, while Speed are a somewhat rare. Speed walls are uniform, while the others have basic requirements, but different construction from venue to venue. Speed and Lead use a belay (rope maned to be someone or fixed to a point), while Boulder uses no belay. The “hooks” (not a bad term for that honestly), are generally called clips or carabiners. My guess is that all three disciplines will feature at the European Games in some capacity (whether as separate events, combined, or other). Maybe Speed + Combined Boulder/Lead to match with the 2024 Olympics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Climbing as a stand alone event is a near lock for the program given Poland’s success in the discipline. I wouldn’t be surprised if they went with the Combined event, but Climbing fans would probably prefer to see all three disciplines as independent events. rafalgorka 1 “Sport has the power to change the world.
