SCORING & RULES
The scores from the Bouldering and Lead Climbing sections are combined to determine the total score for each athlete.

Final round: 3 boulder problems, 1 Lead Route. (Total 175 points)
Athletes are ranked based on their total score.
LEAD CLIMBING
Observation procedure
A) each Qualification route shall be demonstrated by forerunners:
On a video recording continuously played back in the Warm-Up Area, starting not later than 60 minutes before the scheduled start of the round.
B) Final rounds shall be preceded by a six (6) minute collective observation period for competitors:
1) During this period, competitors may:
a) touch (only) the first holds on the route without leaving the ground.
b) use binoculars to observe the route;
c) make hand-drawn sketches and notes, but shall not use any recording equipment.
2) At the end of this period, competitors shall return to the Isolation Zone or to a Transit Zone as directed by the IFSC Officials, provided that competitors in visually-impaired Para Sport Classes may be accompanied by a Sight Guide
Climbing procedure
7.15 Attempt Periods within each round shall allow a Preparation Period of 40 seconds during which a competitor may prepare for their attempt after entering the field of play and a Climbing Period of six (6) minutes. Each competitor may make one (1) attempt on any route, other than where supplementary attempts are permitted following an Appeal or Technical Incident.
———————————————
A climbing route is set on a 15-meter-high wall. Each athlete has only one attempt to climb as high as possible on the route within six (06) minutes. In addition to climbing the route, Lead Climbing requires athletes to periodically clip their safety rope into the quickdraws that are installed along the route to ensure safety. If an athlete fails to clip into a quickdraw, the points they accumulate afterward will be voided.
Reaching the highest hold will earn the athlete the full 100 points. The points are distributed as follows:
The Lead ranking is set based on the height (hold number) achieved by the competitors. A competitor gets a “+” added to their score if they move in the direction of the next hold.
Competitors are kept in an isolation room before they perform their “on sight” attempt (no isolation in the Qualification round). There are different routes for men and women competitors.
BOULDERING
Before each round, route setters design and place climbing routes on the wall, which are kept secret from the athletes until the competition begins. Unique boulder routes are set separately for men and women, and they are changed between the qualification and final rounds. No safety ropes are used, but the floor beneath the bouldering wall is padded with thick mats.
Each boulder route has a designated start position, which requires placing all four limbs at the bottom of the wall. The highest hold is considered the ‘top’ of the boulder. An athlete is considered to have reached the top when they place both hands on the highest hold and maintain balance long enough for the judge to signal success. Athletes can make multiple attempts to climb within the allotted time.
Between the start position and the top of each boulder are two holds called ‘zones,’ which serve as intermediate scoring anchors along the route. An athlete who reaches a ‘zone’ but does not top the boulder is still awarded points for the ‘zone.’
At the end of the round, athletes are ranked based on the number of boulders they have topped, the number of ‘zones’ reached, and the fewest total attempts made.
An athlete can earn a maximum of 75 points in each round. The point distribution is as follows:
• 25 points for each successfully topped boulder (up to 75 points if all 3 boulders are topped)
• For each boulder not topped: 10 points for reaching the second ‘high zone’ hold, or 5 points for reaching the first ‘low zone’ hold
• 0.1 points deducted for each failed attempt, only deducted if the athlete subsequently reaches a ‘zone’ or the top.”
