RECREATIONAL CATEGORY
BLACK TAPE SESSION
The Black Tape Session is inspired by the notorious Black Tape boulders of Ogikubo, known for their extremely high difficulty level. These boulders push even the best climbers to their limits. For this competition, we aimed to raise the bar by setting harder problems than usual. But what does that look like?
PROJECTING
In the Black Tape Session, climbers earn points by projecting three extremely difficult boulders. From 09:00 to 16:00, they can work on each problem. Once they have mastered the boulder, they get four official attempts per problem to score points. Based on their progress, we will select four finalists in both the men’s and women’s categories. These athletes will face off in the Black Tape Finals.
