ADIDAS ROCKSTARS //////////////////////// 4.1 General Information adidas ROCKSTARS at the Porsche-Arena in Stuttgart is a top-class invitational for the world’s best bouldering athletes.

As it is custom when bouldering outdoors on natural rock, the athletes must stand on top of the boulder block Bouldering is a style of rock climbing undertaken without a rope over a crash pad. In and in addition touch a buzzer, which will determine the winner in case of a hairbreadth terms of coordination, acrobatics and athleticism it is certainly the most demanding dis - finish. In this thrilling duel the two superfinalists need both, excellent skills and good cipline in sport climbing. The goal of competitive bouldering is to reach a hold that is nerves. Although the climbers cannot see each other, the beat of the music and the cheers marked as ‘top’ in a limited time using as few attempts as possible. of the crowd will reflect what is happening on the other side. The person who first stands upright on the super boulder is the merited adidas ROCKSTAR 2018 and wins 4000 Euros. Climbing meets Music Nearly everyone has experienced the motivating power of music over our body and soul. Music can release emotions within seconds; the right beat encourages us to tap our feet or clap our hands; a familiar tune invites us to sing along. Music drives us and makes emotional moments unforgettable. It is no secret that many bouldering athletes name their routes after songs they listen to while working on a project. Music is also an integral part of a good sporting event, because it puts heroes in the spot - light, creates excitement and entertains the crowd. Intoxicating music and a great at - mosphere encourage athletes to compete at their physical best. For this reason, adidas ROCKSTARS combines high performance sport with live music, transforming a climbing competition into an elaborately staged show. Heated up by live performers like MC & Beatboxer DJ Eklips and the DJs Chainsaw and Sungod, the world’s best competition climbers will excel themselves. Invitational Competition Over 70 athletes from more that 20 different countries were invited to adidas ROCKSTARS this year, including the top bouldering athletes of the IFSC world ranking, World and Eu - ropean champions, national and continental champions as well as the top 3 of the Euro - pean Youth Cup. 20 men and women can qualify on Friday for the semifinal on Saturday.

  • Improving Rock Climbing Safety Using a Systems Engineering Approach
    Lyle Halliday u5366214 Improving Rock Climbing Safety using a Systems Engineering Approach ENGN2225- Systems Engineering and Design, Portfolio Abstract This portfolio outlines an application of Systems Engineering methods to the sport of Rock climbing. The report outlines an organized, logical analysis of the system that is involved in making this sport safe and aims to improve the system as a whole through this analysis. Steps taken include system scoping, requirements engineering, system function definition, subsystem integration and system attributes which contribute toward a final concept. Two recommendations are made, one being a bouldering mat which incorporates the transportation of other equipment, the other being complete, standardised bolting protocols. These concepts are then verified against the design criteria and evaluated. 1.0 System scoping: A systematic way of establishing the boundaries of the project and focusing the design problem to an attainable goal. The project focuses on Lead Climbing. 2.0 Requirements engineering: Establishing the true requirements of climbers, and what they search for in a climbing safety system 2.1 Pairwise Analysis: Establishing safety, ease of use and durability as primary design goals 2.2 Design Requirements and Technical Performance Measures: Specifying the design requirements into attainable engineering parameters. 2.3 House of Quality: Identifying the trade-offs between safety and functionality/ cost and the need for a whole-of-systems approach to the problem, rather than a component approach. 3.0 System Function Definition: Establishing concepts and system processes. 3.1 Concept Generation and Classification: Identifying possible and existing solutions on a component level and taking these to a subsystem level.

Climbing has injected new life into the island’s economy and mitigated the effects of the Greek economic crisis. A significant social shift is occurring as locals embrace climbing tourism, though there is still not a great degree of integration between climbers and locals. While climbers have relatively low environmental impact, environmental practices throughout Kalymnos need to be improved to preserve the island.

La revista estadounidense Climbing ha hecho públicos los prestigiosos premios Golden Pitons (Pitones de Oro) que otorga cada año a las actividades más destacadas de la escalada mundial según diferentes puntos de vista. Kilian Jornet se ha hecho acreedor de uno de dichos galardones, en la categoría de velocidad, por sus impresionantes ascensiones exprés a montañas tan emblemáticas como el Mont Blanc o el Matterhorn, cuyo récords ostenta. La página web de la revista americana publica una introducción a la noticia acerca del premio a Kilian diciendo: "Los escaladores se han preguntado desde hace tiempo qué podría pasar si atletas de calibre olímpico de otros deportes trajeran su fuerza y resistencia al mundo vertical. Ahora, tenemos una idea bastante buena: el runner catalán Kilian Jornet Burgada está liquidando sistemáticamente los récords de velocidad en los picos más famosos del mundo". A continuación, Climbing pasa a resumir algunas de sus victorias en competiciones en carreras a pie y en esquí de montaña, para señalar que "Jornet ha escalado desde que era un niño, y en los dos últimos años, ha centrado su capacidad aeróbica casi sobrehumana en retos más técnicos".

    Adam Ondra Climbs the World’s First 9c (5.15d) Prague/Norway - Sep 4, 2017 – Yesterday, Adam Ondra, one of the best rock climbers in the world, made a little piece of climbing history. He finished his project in the Hanshelleren Cave, Flatanger, Norway and established the world’s first 9c route, currently the hardest and only route of this grade in the world. After succeeding at Dawn Wall last year when he repeated the route in a very fast time, the Czech climber Adam Ondra once again set new limits of rock climbing when he successfully sent his project of 9c route in the spectacular Hanshelleren Cave in Norway. Adam has not yet named the route though he has used the working title Project Hard on many occasions in the past. He bolted the route in 2013 and focused on it last year and also this year’s entire season. He made seven trips to Norway and in total spent months there. Also he trained specifically for the project since the beginning of this year and worked closely with a physiotherapist Klaus Isele who helped him to prepare for the very specific moves. All that came together in 20 minutes of super intense climbing at the end of which stands the hardest route in the world and a new scope of what can be achieved in rock climbing. Adam Ondra about sending 9c (5.15d): „In the morning it felt like every other day on the Project. It was hot, but the air was crystal clear and dry. But I felt very little pressure and lot of psyche.
