Hold on, so the climbers would all compete in lead, boulder and speed in a triathlon style? I hope I've misunderstood what you mean because that sounds shit. F*ck speed climbing, it's .
It completely misses the whole background of 'climbing competitions'
Boo. I just unliked the facebook page in response.
The world championships always awards a combined champion and it isn't usually anybody that doesn't deserve it: Ondra, McColl, Sasha.However, it does use a stupid scoring system, which means that you don't need to be good at all 3 events. Just do really well in 1 and fairly well in another and turn up to the last one.
F*ck speed climbing, it's .
Graeme, what do you think are climbing's chances of getting in?I have talked to a lot of climbers who assume it's a dead-cert but have read on a few (non-climbing) sites that they rate its chances as very low.
I hope the speed climbing is across a massive roof on jugs with a bell to ring at the finish. And Matthew Kelly.
