What is rope access

Rope Access is a form of movements and work positioning on ropes with associated technical equipment. Most often this type of climbing is used by rope access technicians, who use industrial rope access to carry out their work. Speleologists and rescuers also have a lot of experience with using rope access techniques and can use them in this competition.

For safety reasons all contestants must use two ropes, one working line and one back-up line, at all times when climbing.
