The K2 climbing wall is celebrating its second birthday and on this occasion we invite all climbers to a climbing marathon. Last year we managed to climb an incredible 38,191m and it is more than clear that we must overcome it! The climbing marathon, which will be climbed on Saturday, February 7th, will start at 8:00* 10:00 and you can climb in 3 categories until 8:00 PM, when several beer kegs will be served on our behalf and, along with a delicious goulash, the competitors will have a pleasant start to the afterparty.
*start is postponed to 10:00, our electricity will be out
All you have to do is come anywhere on Saturday 8:00 10:00-20:00, at the reception you will receive a race card where you will write down the routes you have climbed. When you have had enough, you hand in the card, have some goulash and beer and dance until the morning. The entry fee is the standard entrance fee to the wall, or €6. Refreshments to replenish energy are also included in the price. The wall will also be open to the public throughout the day.
Competes in three categories
- male pairs
- female pairs
- mixed pairs
The goal of the race is to find as many routes as possible in 12 hours and thus collect as many points as possible in pairs. Scoring is in favor of quantity, although you can also get some points for the difficulty of the route - 10 or 15 points for climbing (depending on the length of the route), for difficulty as many points as it has a value in the UIAA classification. Currently, there are over 250 routes waiting for you, so there is plenty to choose from!
The second goal is to climb more than 38,191 meters together, i.e. surpass last year's number of routes climbed. When this goal is achieved, free barrels are thrown around and the whole event slowly takes on a more social feel 😉 The goulash is cooked and the afterparty begins as it should.
Marathon winners will receive free entry and prizes from our bar and shop, so it's definitely worth coming!
