In 2020 climbing will be an official Olympic sport with three events -- lead, bouldering and speed climbing. The fastest time up the standard 15 meter speed wall is 5.48 seconds. Could it be faster? WIRED's Robbie Gonzalez climbs with junior champion Jordan Fishman and professional climber Alex Honnold to find out.

    • @@ugnemikalainyte1702 it is though. Honnold is very methodical and possessing of extreme endurance, but he is relatively weak (compared to other climbers of similar level) and does not have much explosive strength. His style is well suited for what he does: start climbing and just keep going until he's on the top, with barely a pause. It is not well suited for a sprint up a wall. Olympic speed climbing and natural speed climbing are pretty much the sprint and the marathon of the climbing world. They are as far apart as they can be.

Alex is known the world over for his climbing prowess, and to see that he can scale that wall in under 30 seconds on his first attempt is absolutely astonishing. Gives me a lot of respect for the younger kid that flew up that thing in 8 seconds. Alex not only free-solo'd El Capitan, but he did it in under 4 hours. Some 3,000 meters. 7,400-something feet. Absolutely incredible by both men.

  • I would like to see more investigation into this sport. It's interesting to me to see the reasons for the speeds of the athletes. Is there any advantage in being taller or shorter? Stronger arms or legs? If you look at the legs of sprinters and cyclists, the huge muscle formation gives them amazing "launch" speed. This lightning start is the key to success and if they are quick enough, like he said - totally anaerobic. If you look at Resa, he is not particularly tall but has more muscle mass in his legs than normal. He more or less runs up the wall with his hands helping a little. Jordan uses his greater arm-strength more often, Alex understands the concept but is more methodical. I'm sure that if Alex wanted to spend a few weeks just training at this speed-wall, he would get super low times.
