Iranian rock climber comes 2nd at Asia K Climbing Championship
Female Iranian rock climber Sara Zera’atzadeh has managed to put an awe-inspiring end to its arduous campaign at the Asia K Climbing Championship, and received a silver medal at the international sports event.
On Sunday, Zera’atzadeh featured remarkable displays at the Youth D Top-rope & Speed final contest, and finished second.
The Asia K Climbing Championship started on December 16 in Singapore, and finished the next day.
The tournament was held in Youth C Lead & Speed, Youth C Bouldering, Youth D Top-rope & Speed and Youth C Bouldering sections.
Dozens of young male and female contestants from various Asian countries, namely Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, India, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Kazakhstan, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand, participated in the event.
Speed climbing is a race in its purest form. Two contestants face each other while moving up the ice in this disciple, and the faster climber wins.
Bouldering is a form of rock climbing that is performed without the use of ropes or harnesses. Most climbers, however, use climbing shoes to help secure footholds, chalk to keep their hands dry, and mats to prevent injuries from falls.
Lead climbing, on the other hand, emphasizes on strength and techniques. Climbers go up the ice alone and try to reach a specific end point within a given amount of time.
To practice the sport at the highest level of competition, it takes athletes with strategic insight, power, precision and full commitment.
