well they should have made the climbing more difficult, even though its crazy how fast they do it people just got used to it and there were no difficulties

[Aaron51281]

There are two types of competition rock climbing, technical climbing & speed climbing. A Speed climbing route isn't meant to be difficult it is built to be fast. The rating on a speed route is anywhere from 5.10a - 5.11 No one wants to see people go slow in a speed climbing comp, hence the only thing being measured is the speed - not their ability to climb a difficult route.

The XGames also hosted tech competition climbing, unfortunately the pace of difficulty climbing doesn't hold mass appeal.

I wish they still had climbing in the Xgames. That would be awesome, and I definately be watching that.

y did they get rid of it??:(

[seahawksbfan]

@yomattieT its only interesting if you know how to climb

[alexbs1fan]

@yomattieT In the US? I don't know. I guess not enough people were watching it. They only had it like one year in the US. I don't know about Asia though.
