The competitive offshoot of sport climbing in which competitors, competing in UIAA events for prize money and with the backing of sponsors, attempt to scale a cliff face or an artificial climbing wall in the fastest possible time or, alternately, attempt to see who among them can climb the highest in the alloted amount of time. 1, record 3, English, - competition%20climbing

The degree of difficulty in competition climbing is based on the Taquitz decimal system. The difficulty indicators range from 5.0 for the easiest climb to 5.14 for the most difficult. From 5.10 to 5.14, the difficulty indicators are further divided into A,B,C, and D (e.g. 5.10A, 5.10B etc.) with the most difficult climb in the world currently rating a 5.14C/D. 1, record 3, English, - competition%20climbing

The term "competition climbing" serves to denote the competitive side of sport climbing. It is therefore a narrower concept of "sport climbing" and should be used accordingly even though the former term is still used erroneously even by professional climbers and amateur enthusiasts alike. It would appear that the term "competition climbing" has not yet taken root in the mind of rock climbers. 1, record 3, English, - competition%20climbing
