Hannes Van Duysen

Hannes Van Duysen is a Belgian rock climber, born in 2004, who specialises in competition climbing. He competes in two of the international disciplines, lead climbing, where climbers ascend a high wall as far as they can within a time limit, and bouldering, where they attempt short, difficult problems without ropes. As one of the younger Belgian competitors on the international circuit, he belongs to the generation that grew up with competition climbing already established as an Olympic sport, and his entry rests on the single reference article that describes his specialisation.
