Rock Master

Rock Master is an international climbing competition held every year in Arco.

The event takes place in two rounds: the first is an on-sight session and the second is called "after work". The final classification is given by the sum of the two events. On Friday the athletes are given a chance to survey the work route, and the actual climbing takes place on Saturday and Sunday.

History

The history of Rock Master is linked to that of the first international races in the history of climbing. In 1985 it was disputed for the first time Sportroccia to Bardonecchia. The following year the event was tied to a stop at the side of the Colodri of Arc. Right on the wall of the Colodri in 1987, played in the first Rock Master. The following year, the race left the rock and from that moment is played only on artificial in a large open space at the base of Colodri.

Since 1999, in addition to lead climbing, bouldering and speed climbing competitions were also held.

Since 2006, during the event a jury assigns Arco Rock Legends, two awards are like the Oscars of climbing:

The competition is usually held the first weekend of September, with a few exceptions:

In 2012 the speed test was valid also as the fourth leg of the World Cup speed climbing 2012.[2]
