Règlements
RULES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE
The competition is judged and timed.
Climbers have one attempt to complete each of the qualifying routes as quickly as possible.
For a route to be considered completed, the climber must have completed the ascent in a top rope, from the ground to the belay, without a fall, without tension (dry), or using the anchors. The progression is made only with the rock and ice.
In case of a fall, the climber cannot go back to the route. His points end at the last unclipped quickdraw.
The official knot for tying a competitor is the double figure eight knot.
At the start signal, the climber must have both feet on the ground.
Only competitors, judges, volunteers and photographers are allowed in the competition areas.
Please respect all Festiglace personnel.
