Rock Master in Arco: Ondra and Raboutou dominate the climbing world

The first day of the Rock Master ignited the Climbing Stadium in Arco, featuring an exhilarating Duel Lead competition starring Adam Ondra (CZE) and Brooke Raboutou (USA). In a magical atmosphere, the audience witnessed twists and breathtaking performances, with two-time Olympic champion Janja Garnbret surprisingly eliminated during the qualifiers. Raboutou shone in the finals, capturing her first title at the Rock Master, while Ondra demonstrated his superiority, securing his eighth victory in the duel. The climbing festival will continue on Saturday afternoon at 3:00 PM with the FASI Chronos Clash, a competition for climbers under 17 and under 19. Later in the evening, the KO Boulder will take place, where the top athletes of the Rock Master will return to action. Access to the events is free with prior registration on the festival’s official website. With a packed schedule of activities, including yoga and thematic talks, enthusiasts can continue to experience the adrenaline of competitive climbing until the festival’s conclusion. Italian Version
