A rock climbing competition is either red point or onsight. If it is a red point comp, then many routes are set, with different point values, relative to their difficulty. Their peers sign off on the routes that they have completed. Climbers usually have anywhere from 3-4 hours to climb as many routes as they want, and their top five point values are taken as scores. In this instance, judges simply stand by and make sure participants are not cheating, or if the competition is for sport climbing, not bouldering, they will also belay. In an onsight competition, participants are held in isolation, so that they may not see the routes they will climb beforehand. Once they are called out to climb, they will usually have three routes to climb, and a time limit to climb each one, along with some rest time allowed in between. In this instance, judges mark the highest hold that the climber is able to control (hold on to for more than a moment), and this becomes their score for that route. That score and their scores on the two other climbs are tallied up. In the end, the winners are determined by the highest scores, and ties are broken by the number of falls taken on each qualifying route.

What are the benefits of rock climbing?
IT is a good way to stay in shape and its great exercise but mostly it is very fun. Addition: Rock climbing is a sport that can change a person's way of life in many ways. Often when people travel after discovering rock climbing, they are going to destinations to rock climb instead of seeing the tourist resorts. It can also lead to many different areas of this sport including scrambling, ice-climbing, canyoneering, bouldering competitions, etc. Physically, rock climbing can build a lot of strength in parts of the body that most workouts and sports can't give you. This consists mostly hand and arm. If one sticks to gym climbing, the cardiovascular system is one part of the physical experience that gym climbing does not help. However, most mountaineering is very cardiovascularly intensive. Rock climbing and mountaineering can give a person the skills to see parts of the world and be places that would have been impossible for them to be safely before.
