Battle of Veko

Competition Concept

The bouldering competition consists of two parts: an open qualification round and a final.

Climbers must combine strength, technique and smart decision-making to complete as many boulders as possible.

Qualification

- The qualification takes place outdoors at Møen, in a beautiful forest area just outside Voss.

- Athletes have four hours to climb as many as possible of the 25 selected boulders.

- The problems range from easy to demanding, offering challenges for a wide range of climbers.
Each completed boulder gives one point.

- The six best men and six best women advance to the final.

- This round is about pacing, strategy and making good decisions throughout the session.

Final

- The final brings together the six best climbers in each class for a head-to-head showdown inside the festival tent.

- Music, lights and the festival atmosphere create a unique setting for the competition.

- The audience is close to the action, making the final one of the most exciting climbing events of the week.

Final Format

- Six heats are held, with one man and one woman climbing at the same time.

- Each heat lasts four minutes, during which athletes try to collect as many points as possible across six boulders.

- The boulder styles vary between competition style, balance and power, testing the climbers’ versatility.

- All finalists receive two minutes of observation time before the start.

- This is where composure, strength and quick decisions determine the winner.
