3. Speed climbing
The Wall’s Competitive Team trains for bouldering and sport climbing.
Bouldering - Climbers use no ropes or harnesses
climb no higher than 18’

Sport Climbing- Climbers rope up and climb a series of routes. Competitors lead climb, bringing the rope up behind them and clipping it to the wall as they go.
