High performance Sport NZ Programme
What is speed climbing?
The challenge of scaling a 15 meter wall on a 5 degree overhang with a standardised route using the same holds as fast as possible. A speed climber can expect the same wall, no matter where in the world they compete. This standardisation means a climber can work on perfecting every single move to make it up the top as fast as they possibly can.
Thanks to the efforts of a local climbing club in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand has an official Olympic speed climbing wall at Blake Park, Mount Maunganui.
