Rock Master

Multi-Sport Games

Rock Master is an international competition climbing event held every year in Arco, Italy, usually on the first weekend of September. It runs in two rounds, an on-sight session followed by an after work session, and the final classification is the sum of both. The first Rock Master was played on the Colodri wall in 1987, after the Sportroccia event of 1985, and from 1988 it was held on an artificial wall at the base of the Colodri. Bouldering and speed climbing were added to lead climbing in 1999. Since 2006 the event has presented the Arco Rock Legends awards, the Salewa Rock Award and the La Sportiva Competition Award, known as the Oscars of climbing.
