C. Speed Climbing Competition (see below)
D. Red Point Local Climbing Competition (see below)
Rules & Regulations
C. Speed Climbing. This format is the most fun to watch and probably the most marketable from a media perspective. Climbers compete against time to see who can reach the top of the route first. The competition is based on a knock out system where pools of climbers eliminate each other eventually coming down to the final two climbers.
D. Red Point. This type of competition provides many different climbing routes. Each route has a different level of daifficulty and a unique point value that relates to the level of difficulty. Points are gained only if the route is completed.
The basic strategy for the red point is to warm up on easy climbs. After warming up you attempt the hardest climb you are capable of ascending. Here strategy is important. You must correctly evaluate the most difficult climb you are capable of completing. If you cannot complete a climb, you may continue to try.
However, as you continue to work the climb, your endurance and strength diminish. Therefore, many climbers use the strategy to attempt a climb only twice until they complete the mandatory number of climbs.
Climbers re-attempted the hard climbs in an effort to improve the score. Event organizers may place a route judge at each climb, or allow the competitors to verify and initial each other's score cards. This is a popular competition format that is most flexible and is predominantly for a fun, low stress social event.
