Arco will be transformed into the capital of climbing for a whole day: it will be the perfect opportunity to delve into the exciting history of the sport, discovering the strong bond that has united the Trentino event and its home, the Arco Climbing Stadium, and the Garda Trentino area since 1986, in the company of some past masters and the champions of today.
Here is the formula for Competition 2024, which combines Lead Duel and KO Boulder:
KO Boulder: A series of boulder problems where athletes have to overcome blocks of increasing difficulty. Each round progressively eliminates participants until only the winner remains.
Duel: Two athletes compete simultaneously on two parallel routes of high difficulty. A spectacular mix of speed, explosive strength, tactics and determination. The athletes face each other in a series of two-man, knockout fights until the last challenge for the title.
How is the RockMaster title awarded?
Lead Duel and KO Boulder will have separate rankings and winners but the RockMaster title will go to the athlete with the best combined score in the two disciplines
