Climbing is the activity of using one's hands, feet, or any other part of the body to ascend a steep topographical object.

Climbing

The Play!Media Dual Ascent is a new team climbing event, that took place on October 26-29. Sixteen of the very best competition and multi-pitch/rock climbers are invited to compete in teams of two across three days at the first-ever head-to-head multi-pitch climbing competition on artificial routes.

The Dual Ascent

Sports Climbing consists of three disciplines. There is the ‘Speed’ category that pits two climbers side by side in a timed race to the top of the wall, the polar opposite of the methodical approach needed to succeed in ‘Lead’ climbing. Perfectly placed between those two skill sets is ‘Bouldering’. Men and Women use a maximum of 10 movements to power over a vast array of shaped and sized boulders bolted onto steep vertical walls often topped off with an imposing overhang. They have no safety support other than the vice-like grip that their fingertips might allow them. This is a sport that truly lives up to the mantra of ‘living on the edge’.
