Rock Master is one of the most loved climbing events in the world. It all began in 1986, at the foot of Mount Colodri, on natural rock with Sport Roccia. In 1987, the event moved beneath the walls of Arco Castle and took the name Rock Master, immediately becoming part of climbing history. But it was in 1988, with the creation of the Climbing Stadium, that the competition found its definitive home: an artificial structure purpose-built to host high-level climbing competitions in a dedicated, permanent venue – the first of its kind in the world.
