The next-gen of Italian climbing goes all-in for the fastest challenge of them all: a speed competition featuring Under 17 and Under 19 athletes from the national team, along with the top climbers from the Italian Youth Championship.

Speed: pure vertical adrenaline

In speed climbing, it’s all about one thing – going fast. Two climbers race side by side up a 15-metre wall that’s identical in every comp, with holds in exactly the same position. The goal? Hit the top in the shortest time possible, with explosive moves and pinpoint precision. It’s climbing’s Formula One: a few heart-pounding seconds of pure power and focus.
