Observation Procedure

A) Qualification Rounds
Each qualification route will be demonstrated by forerunners:

• A video recording will be continuously played in the Warm-Up Area, starting no later than 60 minutes before the scheduled start of the round.

B) Final Rounds
Final rounds will be preceded by a six (6) minute collective observation period for competitors.

1. During this time, competitors may:

   • Touch only the first holds on the route without leaving the ground.

   • Use binoculars to observe the route.

   • Make hand-drawn sketches or notes (use of recording devices is not allowed).

2. After the observation period, competitors must return to the Isolation Zone or Transit Zone as directed by judges.

Climbing Procedure

• Each attempt includes:

  • Một Preparation Period of 40 seconds (after entering the field of play).

  • Một Climbing Period of six (6) minutes.

• Each competitor may make one attempt per route, except in cases of Appeals or Technical Incidents, where supplementary attempts may be permitted.

The lead route is set on a 15-meter-high wall. Each athlete has one attempt to climb as high as possible within six (6) minutes.

Athletes must clip their rope into the quickdraws installed along the route for safety. If they fail to clip into a quickdraw, any points gained afterward are voided.

• Reaching the highest hold = 100 points.

• Rankings are based on the highest hold number reached.

• A “+” is added if the athlete shows clear movement toward the next hold.

Competitors are kept in an isolation room before their on-sight attempt (except during Qualification). Separate routes are set for men and women.
