Charity Climbing 2026

Each rope team (consisting of 2 climbers) has the opportunity to climb as many climbing routes as possible in the participating halls between 09:00-19:00. Each route climbed redpoint in the lead (free ascent of a known route without falling or putting weight on the rope) counts a predefined number of points:

• French grade 4 to 5c+ counts 1 point
• French grade 6a to 6b+ counts 2 points
• French grade 6c to 7a counts 3 points
• French grade 7a+ to 7b+ counts 4 points
• French grade 7c and 7c+ counts 5 points
• French grade 8a and 8a+ counts 7 points
• French grade 8b and 8b+ counts 10 points
• French grade 8c and higher counts 15 points

The rope team independently looks for a sponsor who donates two euros for each point climbed. A sponsor can be a company, an association or a private person. A rope team may also have several sponsors. The sponsors can share the climbed donation amount or take it over in full. The best three rope teams with the most points will be rewarded with non-cash prizes at the award ceremony.

The rope team that climbs the most points on this day is the winner of the day and receives a challenge cup. If this challenge cup is won by a rope team three years in a row, it becomes the property of this rope team.
