One of the most spectacular yet little known sports is climbing. One of the specialties is indoor competition where the athletes will compete on completing diabolical routes and doing so the fastest. If you have never seen a video, you really should.

There are many other options for betting, such a certain climbing finishing a certain route or climbing a certain mountain. The stars of this sport, both male and female, frequently declare their intentions of climbing routes and it is a open ground for bets. Is there already any place to bet on climbing competitions or challenges that you know of?

I am also a huge fan of climbing, unfortunately near my hometown there aren't any mountains, so I just stick to bouldering indoor. Watching speed climbing is insane, their speed is so fast and the routes they are climbing are insanely hard. Over the last few years quite a lot of people became interested in climbing, it is even now a competition in olympics. With so many people watching it should be normal to make it also attractive for bookmakers. Top climbers become something like celebrities these days, it would be normal to bet on them.

Honestly, the sport of climbing mountains and cliffs is one of the sports full of challenges, sometimes it ends in death, I personally often watch those who have big guts do silly things beyond normal human sense 'challenge' rock climbing.

However, if you ask me have you ever bet, the answer is no, maybe if there is a gambling site that adds a rock climbing betting option, maybe I'll try it, maybe it's a tense and challenging game, who gets to the top first, interesting.

That is a very challenging sport and betting on it would be difficult to be a winner.That is because it is based on the sportsman physical condition and it can change constantly.Based on this I would refrain from betting in such events.

Answering these questions depends on the interest of the individual. Gambling is always present in human nature so betting on any challenges even if it is not considered a sport is happening in any place as long as two or more player/team are competing for the same goal. Personally, I am not interested to bet on these climbing challenges even if they put them on sports betting platforms. Only people that are enthusiastic with this type of challenge are likely to gamble their money on this.

I know this sport but I've never seen the bets available on the sites I've used, because if they included this sport in the spoortsbook then of course I would be interested. This is an extreme sport but still has good procedures in terms of safety so yes, I am very interested in watching and also betting for each match but unfortunately, I also don't know where this sport is available as a bet.

If there is a site that offers odds for this specific sport, I would probably try to bet on it. I have said in my another post that I really like odd or eccentric sports because I find them a bit more challenging to bet on because you have no way of knowing how you can win and what are the mechanics of the game.

Speed climbing and especially free climbing are extremely interesting sports to watch and the athletes doing that are one of the best trained athletes on the planet because for climbing you need a lot of endurance and basically every single muscle is used during climbing so that climbers are probably in the best overall shape. Regarding betting on climbing i personally would be still hesitant to do that because as far as i know there is not much money involved in climbing competitions yet which means that the participants are more susceptible to bribery, but if the sport continues to grow as he does than it would be definitely an exciting sport to bet on.

Definitely an interesting sport, but I'm more used to watching them climb those man-made ones, the ones with handles clogged together to let the climber go up. Idk what it's called but it was something like that. Me watching them climb a real mountain kinda scares the f out of me, and hardly doubt it would actually be officialized since there's a LOT of unknown factors in the wild that could influence not only the competition, but also their lives.

But for betting? Maybe not. It's close to purely physical ability after all. Mental capacity comes in, but tactics and whatnot aren't really involved, it's more related to their capability to stay calm and continue climbing.

In my opinion, if climbers compete by climbing a real rock over an abyss, then they will not cheat.  

In this case, everything is fair.  There is no collusion or manipulation here.  This is simply not possible.  Extreme climbers are the elite among athletes.  Incredibly physically developed and brave people.  Fans of gambling will gladly place bets on such competitions.  In fact, extreme climbers are modern gladiators.  

But they are not competing with opponents, but with themselves, and every mistake can be fatal.

That's the other beauty that I have observed with this sport, which is that cheating meant either death or injury plus if they cheat in a safe environment for climbing, you would know that they are cheating.

How many types of competitions are there? I know about the fastest to the top, but are there more? Like maybe a harder course or something? Anyway, my experience is that people who gamble will bet on anything, so climbing is not excluded. Climbing is getting more popular, especially indoor, so it's a mater of time we see media outlets getting interested in it.

Every time I see this sport it is indeed very challenging and you have to have big guts because what you are facing is a big risk of death in front of your eyes if they make a mistake in cutting down a ravine and high, even I am very amused and scared to see it but they have the guts great to reach the goal at the top.

I only see this sport only occasionally when I happen to change the tv channel to this sport I don't know how the rules that occur in this sport even the points don't understand, let alone betting on gambling it's very impossible for me to do it, so I don't understand anything and I only bet on sports in general.

I'm a fan of climbing, but I haven't bet on the game itself, and thanks to the OP, this is the first time that I heard about betting on the game.

So still there are odds and other betting options, which make it more exciting. But for gamblers though, better first learn the odds given, it's not just a simple game as it seems. And there could be few surprises and upsets just like any other sports.

where did you see a climbing challenge in the sportbetting platform?  it's not on sportsbet and stake.

sports events like this one don't happen very often. mostly the ones who participate in this event are the people who are involved in mountain climbing. i can't even remember a name who is pretty much famous in cliff climbing. can this be classified as extreme sports?

Yes, climbing will be included on the next olympic games which are going to happen in Tokyo, Japan. That is one of five new sports total which are going to be added to the games, what is also very interesting news for fans of the sport. Actually, so far I have never thought about climbing as a competition, but just as a hobby instead. Anyway it will be really exciting to see the competition soon, probably next month or august.
Since it's official, I'm pretty sure gambling platforms will introduce climbing bets and there will be many people willing to place a bet on it. If I have some spare money I may join as well.

I am not very familiar with this kind of sports. I know there is this kind of activity among extreme sports enthusiasts but I don't know who's who in it. I am not even familiar with what and how the rules and mechanics are applied to competitions and events. So I don't think I would be betting on this.

I think sports betting or betting in general requires a certain amount of familiarity so that you are making an informed bet every time rather than just a blind guess.

Well, there always comes a time when something new is brought to the platform. It might not be in existences now on gambling platforms but, it doesn't mean it can't. So long as its some individuals passion and it could be actually measured and competed for, it could be considered for a betting opportunity.  Once some value is being attached to it and the sport gets a good number of participants and fans, it could be advocated for or required by fans and just like that who knows whats next. We could as well start placing our bets on who is faster in scaling through some obstacle on the walls.

it was not little known but the sport climbing is popular  .
 it was risky but the climbing that is fun to watch for me are done by the people that is doing a parkour and the one that i watch in the t.v , i think that was on axn channel ? where they climb indoors with spectacular obstacles .
 i can bet on this variation of climbing because im familiar to some players and thier skills but the question is if there are betting sites for this ?

It's certainly a very interesting sport to watch and I feel if the bet is only on who will make the fastest time then it will be very difficult to rig. Unfortunately it is relatively unknown and I'm guessing that it can be quite dangerous if you are driving climbers to make it up the quickest. Not sure how sponsors would feel about seeing their logos around such a potentially lethal activity and they can often contribute heavily to the success of any sport - as they push to get it more televised, build up advertising around the sport and in prime spots. I certainly would be interested in placing bets on this, as long as it is done in the safest ways possible, seems like a good contender for a Red Bull competition as they love extreme sports.

This is a nice sport to watch but going as far as betting on it...I don't think so!

First off I have not seen a bookie offer such a sport for betting  and secondly I don't think there is enough information about these athletes to help make an informed decision.

and tbh being a small sport I think there are high chances that the same guys will win every time because there isn't much competition.

If there will be a betting for this I will definitely research and bet for it, and as you have said we can sure gamble on anything that we can think of, and again he is another unique idea to have in a betting site, but again in this sport safety precautions is really needed like a safety harness and a first aid team that will be on stand by when something happens, Because we can never know what may happen because I really think in sports of climbing you can surely climb anything whether it can be a mountain, rock, a Wall, or a skyscraper, well I think this may have different categories that a climber to choose and what he thinks best for him,

And because of this, I have remembered a 26 years old Chinese climber named Wu Yongning who died a tragic death falling a 62 story building that is why safety is surely needed when engaging in this kind of sports, So rest in peace to Wu Yongning.

It'd be fun to watch these knowing that I will not be able to accomplish half of what these guys are doing but I wouldn't go so far as to betting anything into it, given that I know next to nothing on climbing, let alone professional sports climbing. It's just like throwing money on a wishing well hoping that it will throw me 10x of the amount I originally put in. It makes no sense to me financially and logically.

I'll stick to dice and sports betting, I guess.

So far i havent encountered any bookies that do offer this line but i do made up some research about possible climbing betting.

You can read up here: https://www.gamingzion.com/gambling/gambling-news/olympic-sport-climbing-betting-in-2021/
Its understandable that this sport isnt really well known yet but actually it isnt really bad though.

That is just it, so far I have not encountered it before, it is not common. At least it should have been on some gambling sites. Immediately I read the OP, I have to check one of the most recognized gambling site in the world that offers different types of sport, but I did not see it there. The last I saw there was horse racing, this makes me believe that it is very possible no gambling site is offering climbing sport betting for now, but I may be wrong. If people like it, see it as fun, it can become common one day and be seen on sport gambling sites.

I saw the link that you have shared, it has a betting site that you can bet climbing competitions but unfortunately, I don't try to open a link.
https://www.gamingzion.com/links/about-unibet-sportsbook.ref.

Climbing sports is very unpopular yet and I guess the reason why gamblers are not interested in these sports is just that it is very risky sports to the athlete and it will Guess only a few of the athlete has been too much time (months).

i believe this sports will only make it to the sportsbook, fiat-based in particular on a case to case basis. just like the link above, in this upcoming tokyo olympics. but otherwise, it will only make it to local sportsbetting scene, where they are doing the climbing contest. big event for this specific sports doesn't happen regularly, so they will be seen rarely. but for this upcoming olympics, maybe even crypto sportsbooks will list this sports. this is interesting to look forward to. let's see if they will make it in crypto bookies...

I didn't know it was possible to bet on this sport.Which sportsbook are you using to bet on that? Do you know some crypto sportsbook offering markets on this sport?

I have several times do this sport, climbing, at least when I was in junior high school until in college. But only several times and I am a beginner  ;D
Climbing is so challenging, this is also actually very risky, moreover if done in the very challenging cliff.

But, to gambling in it? Honestly, I am not interested. I will be more interested to enjoy this climbing sport or match as a sport only. Enjoying how the view of the cliffs, how every participant struggles to reach the top, and how they struggle to face every challenge of the climbing. But I will not bet on them because it may be too dangerous. And if it becomes gambling and many parties also bet on this, it will be very easy for the team or management to manage whether they should lose or win at that time for the sake of winning betting.

I'd probably bet on it if climbing sports becomes popular enough in the future where it's offered on every crypto sportsbooks or if sportsbet decides to introduce a special offer but for now i'd just skip on the said sport since it's always better to stick on the sports you know.

I could be wrong but I think OP isn't betting on the sport and was just pointing out how it could have potential with sportsbooks.

Not really because they are doing it with some safety gear that will protect them in case of unexpected failures. Anyway, almost everything is a betting opportunity for them nowadays. no wonder this sport is no excuse to be listed on their betting idea. This sport is also one of those games that if one player throws it away, no one will know since it's will looks like that he lost his balance.

Nope I don't like to bet on something that I have little knowledge of.
I have watch some mountain climbing before and for me it is somehow similar to parkour where they risk their life for it.
I would enjoy watching but not really into using it for betting.

I also wouldn't bet on something I really don't understand or don't even like. Honestly because I'm afraid of heights, so watching someone
climb high places made me uncomfortable. So it's not something I can enjoy watching someone climb such a high mountain. Therefore I choose
not to bet on such activities. After all, I sometimes wonder why people are so brave to do something that could put their life in danger.

I know the existence of this sport but never seen a tournament regarding this in a professional way, I watched many videos where people climbs up the rocks as well as on the indoor built venues for such rock climbing for passion.

I feel like this is one of those sports who does not gain the recognition it warrants. It is mostly overlooked due to its complexity and lack of advertisements. But for people who actually do rock-climbing, it is one of those experiences that you really have to at least try.

To think that rock-climbing will be considered as an option to gambling would most likely be puzzling to most. The fanbase and popularity would make it a risky challenge for most viewers especially if you do not know any of those players or participants.

Nevertheless, this is a good opportunity to create a separate fanbase that may attract people onto watching the sport. In the long-run, as it attracts viewers, most people would actually try it out.

This sport is dangerous than MMA.  It's more like gambling with death. You don't need 2 or 3 athletes for this sport, you only need 1 and if he reached the top of the cliff he automatically is a champ. There have to be rescue units climbing as well to monitor the athlete while climbing a cliff, a promoter wouldn't go spend that much.

I'm sure there are people who like to be part of this, it stimulates adrenaline for them to be there on top to cheat death.

Back in College life , this is one of our best stress reliever so certainly? i will bet for this game if available Via Bitcoin or crypto betting .
and also because there are only few that consider this as sport because for majority of us this is a Extreme Hobby ..

I am also not very aware of what is happening in this sport.  The athletes themselves are absolutely crazy extreme sportsmen.  And of course the preparation must also be extremely extreme.  Since we are talking about moves and bets, I would agree to watch them only knowing that athletes are competing with insurance.  Otherwise, it is simply "gladiatorial fights" with a fatal outcome.  Allowing such at the international level is unacceptable.  But what to do, because the athletes themselves deliberately do not take insurance for the "thrill" of the public.  And what is it like to look at such a climb if you are a close friend or relative of an athlete.  Think how it is for you!  That is why - only with insurance.

I have no idea about the outdoor competition of rock climbing but the indoor has this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT2B6rAwvtw

it has been called Bouldering and not literal rock climbing.

These games aren't much known. Spending on these kind of little known games will be truly fun filled, because we can't make predictions as we make with a soccer, tennis or some other games. Anytime the change can happen, and so will be the end result. I had a thought these are just adventure events that are being practiced for long term and executed. Now only came to know, there is games organised on it.

^ Probably because only a few athletes have an interest because this game is very risky to them, climbing walls or even in a mountain is very risky that probably you will fall to the ground that causes serious injury or turn to sudden death. So basically, they are risking their lives on this game which is the reason did not much popular only those brave people who will always find a thriller or adventure and I don't know how often there is a tournament for this kind of game. However, if there is a bookmaker where we can place a bet on this game why not, this game will make you excite because you cant really predict who's gonna win.

I don't know if any platforms offer to bet on climbing tournaments, because climbing walls or mountain is not a sport that many devotees.
Because this is a very dangerous extreme sport, even if not trained properly can lead to death or serious injury. I'm sure there are not many
climbing sports fans and it is very difficult to find platforms that can indeed be used to bet on climbing.

I don't think we have any platform both in crypto and fiat, where gambling on climbing is introduced. The only reason I can see is the popularity. Climbing is a very much underground sport and definitely not popular like Football, Cricket, F1 or even Tennis! It has a small fan base and for genuine reasons sportsbooks have not shown interest into this sport. Frankly speaking, I couldn't find even a fiat based sportsbook for this sport.

They are not going to die because they have all the safety measure before doing rock climbing in the outdoor and I am not sure the tournament is going to take place in outdoor. But its an indoor sport where they have to climb rock like structure using the given support and I don't have the knowledge about as sport event, it is mainly depends on the time take to complete the climb or something else?

I know the sport of climbing. But I just heard about climbing sports betting today. But if there is this is new and good news for the world of betting. There will be many alternative bets even though I am not a person who is very happy with the sport of climbing.

Even for this sport I don't know much about the name of his favorite athlete. Even in my own country, I don't know even though there are some who have won the world of climbing.

Can rock climbing be used as a bet? Honestly, I've never heard that rock climbing can be used as a gamble and I personally think that rock climbing is a sport that is free from scandal and gambling today, to determine the winner of the bet, is it the participant who reaches the top first or the participant who has the fastest time to reach the top? ???

Did make some research too and i cant really find one book that do offer this one and you are right that they wouldnt list out if they wont see any popularity of this sport and its just normal that they would do such thing.

When it comes to betting on this climbing challenges or sport then this would only serve out few people interest which wont really be enough for
bookies to consider on offering bets.

For me, i cant see any reasons on why this one would be interesting for my part.

I can bet on climbing challenges only if I know the capacity of all the contestants since the betting have to do with the person that first finishes a certain route which could be a certain mountain but I still like the indoor climbing challenges than the outdoor.
Meanwhile, I don't see online gambling sites integrating this kind of game.

I've seen some interesting daredevil climbs on youtube and it got my interest watching 2 videos of those climbing attempts. I don't even know that it has professional athletes doing this sport. I also can't find a betting site that offers this kind of sport, I think this sport is little enough for casinos not to offer a betting match for this sport.

You got it right. Less fan base, means less target market for the sportsbook, thus no betting lines will be created.
This extreme sports has been existing for quite some time already. It's really fun to watch just like the American Ninja Warrior, but I can't find any sportsbook that offers bets on this sports as well. Again, because It has less target markets.

I've seen some climbing competition videos in the gym. On the one hand, it looks quite interesting and exciting (I watched the competition for speed rather than difficulty), but on the other hand, the competition is rather fleeting and the feeling of excitement does not have time to arise. Therefore, at the moment, I would not participate in betting on such events.

I love to watch extreme sports, including climbing, this gives you a lot of chills. I think the betting option would be a nice supplement to watching this sport - double the excitement and thrill.
I've searched for some info regarding extreme sports betting, but haven't found the websites that can offer this  :'(

Well, that is right because the activity of this sport is not yet popular and if you see, just a small number of professional athletes has been joined, so if there is an event like this, they did not become popular. When a sport has many activities, for sure bookies will include them for the betting activity, so if this sport will always have tournaments when we say it is always every day, for sure many bookies will list this to the site. Perhaps that is the reason that this game has merely have a tournament and we have countless athletes were joined.

I have seen some rock climbing and some similar stuff but i dont know what sportsbook does offer this kind of sports or bets. Crypto sportsbooks dont offer this for sure. But would be fun to see how bets go on this events even tho i would never bet on them myself

Man, that will be cool if they will add a gambling option for that sport.
I know little about "who" will play this game but I will try to learn them if ever they will make it available.
Next time we will be talking about how much of a "lizard-like" these players are.  ;D
It's a good sport to watch and you will not sleep on it while looking at climbers trying their best not to fall and looking for the best route possible.

First i do not know if any site offer betting on climbing challenges. Maybe because the audience for this sports is small or this is not a popular sport.
However i think if they start betting for this, people will come to know about this sport and may take interest in it. For the time being, i don't see it happening.

I can only bet on a game I have a pre-information about atleast I must have watched series of games and have known each player by name even if not all and i should also know how the games are been officiated. I can't just blindly bet on a game I have no knowledge about. Until I get a good knowledge about the climbing challenge I can't bet my hard earned currency  because I would not just be gambling at that moment I would be risking my emotions and psychology which is too much to lay down for a challenge I'm not sure of winning

What will be the bets are based on though because that is crucial to my decision. If it's just a race on who can get to climb the fastest then probably there's no problem for me to bet on it but if there are some other mechanics like climbing with a style, probably I will pass.

First we need to look at how these climbing games are measured ? Do we have tournaments & games and those who climb quickly wins or there are other measurement tools. Since i don't follow these games, i wont be able to better guide on how the betting will take place in these games ?

The question is , is there any site or institution that lets you bets for this kind of sport? or you are referring to p2p betting?
Because this sport is cool and i love watching this but betting? this is too boring for sportsbettors i guess..

I will summarize the intermediate result of the discussion in this topic.   So:
The competition is of interest to many! ;
 Nobody knows for certain the rules of ascent (at speed, who is the first or are there elements of beauty and performance as, for example, in figure skating)? ;
No information is there an official competition in nature (not indoors)?  ;
Are there bookmakers betting on this waters of sports in dollars ...?

 Maybe someone who reads this topic knows the answers to these questions?
 :)

Yes. There are more questions concerning climbing competitions than answers.

I think that to judge the winner, the jury takes into account the time of climbing and the number of falls. Climbing walls can be both outdoors and indoors.

I have never encountered an opportunity to bet on climbing.

As far as I know, the style is not important, or rather, people can freestyle. So I have seen even people climbing only with arms (usually this is the fastest so they just let their legs hand and use only their arms to pull up).

I think therefore the only qualification is to have real arms. Not prosthetics. I know it sounds funny,,, but it is true. If you ever watched someone with metal legs run?

Yes, that would be interesting. But I can assume that given the fact that this is a new sport for bookmakers and the result here is less obvious and predictable, the odds here would be much lower than in traditional sports. Both for favorites and underdogs.

As a frequent traveler, I see the sport as interesting. It's just that our usual activity got halt because of the pandemic.

Going back to the topic, this is the first time in my vocabulary to see a competition like that. Checking the video link, it was an organized league, and never thought something like that exist. Curiosity struck me so I made a bit of research and learned that it was an annual competition and several countries are involved.

As always, the advantage of the bettor here is their sports knowledge about the event. Referring to past matches can somehow give a gambler a good reference on their future bets. As for me, "NO", I won't bet on that sport for the obvious reason that I don't have an idea about people involves in that sport.

Just to watch climbing activities or tournaments seems interesting, but to bet on climbing there won't be many enthusiasts.
Because climbing is not a sport that many people are interested in, so I doubt there is a gambling site that offers climbing bets.
Even though there are platforms that offer it, I don't seem interested in participating, it's a little strange to bet on climbing.

But maybe eventually there will be? remember that In gambling industry there is always a window for something that may attract bettors .
this Sport is challenging and unique, maybe this has no big market for time being but in many chances and future , surely this will be added into other site that brings even ODDs for what we believe will win.

I actually find it interesting and if I would have a chance, I will definitely bet on it. I find this type of sports fair because it requires the actual strength of the player. I have watched a few rounds of climbing sports and it's really exciting. I believe that more sports lovers would get hooked on it.

It is like the way in the movie there are a lot of gamblers motivate other people to make an extreme action just like this. Well for sure only known and professional climbers will grab the opportunity for this it's all about the risk of life.

Different people have different preferences on gambling I think still there will be a person seen a something with this sports if they will try adopt the use of gambling.

Never heard of people betting on such events. Sounds really complicated. How does this work though? You bet on who is going to finish first? Or like who falls down first? lol.
And bet on routes? How is that supposed to work? I thought everyone followed specific routes when climbing to avoid dangers. Is it like we also have to guess which mountain are they going to climb? If that is the case, wouldn't organizers who what route and mountains they are going to climb and use those information for their own advantage?

This is definately something worth trying but at the same time is rock climbing a professional sports ? I was not so sure about that so I did some research and as it turns out it is. Let me state quote from the Google :

At the same time we have to understand that the hardest job here would be knowing the players. If the completion is indoor this provides people with the scope to go and experience it.
I have seen so many videos on it and all of them stuns me every time. People really outdo themselves. I would place a bet on it but the problem will be it getting included in good sport gambling sites. They are mostly involved with the most popular sports and sports like these are most often ignored.

Lots of factors would really be considered first and those questions you had mentioned are actually valid and we do need some clarifications on that.
When it comes to betting options or lines been offered then it would be usually be talking about on whose the one would cross the line first compared into that who would gonna fall first. When it comes to course then i dont think that there would be specific route to be followed unless if those
had been studied and been looked out which it would be one of the questions about probability of knowing it first before the competition starts.

It is definitely an interesting sport to watch and I have seen a few competitions in the past but I am not aware of any sport book on this market that takes bets like that which means the sport is yet to become as popular as it could, however when I see the sport I cannot help to think that eventually it will get there as it is incredibly impressive how those people can move at such speeds when they are climbing, I remember the first time I watched a competition and I could not really believe what I was watching.

Man, this kind of sport looks scary enough. I even would not bet, but rather ask another people not to do so, because this will promote such sport and this can result in some idiots to fall over cliff and their deaths. Let's better to bet on cockroach races, i don't think that this can result in anything bad  ;D

I never knew such game exist climbing challange. I would love to watch how it's been played so I can stake my fiat for my favorite athlete. I am also wondering if the odd will look attractive since a whole lot of persons don't know such games exist I feel more publicity should be done on this to create good awareness to the public about this kind of game.

I have never thought that this could be a sport because I thought that it's just another out-of-town recreational activity that's being done when having a vacation. It's quite new to me and if it becomes listed on a different sports book then it's one of a must to bet on.
As long as the rules are easy to understand and there's a bookie that has it then we've got no problem and it's not a question anymore if I'll be betting on this type of sport.

If this is a competition there should be a safety protocol and they should be wearing some protective gears because you will not take your life at big risk for just a reward. If you’re afraid of heights I don’t really think you can watch this one, but personally it looks exciting for me though betting might not be an option for me as well, its hard to predict that competition.

Without safety protocols, it's "free soloing"!

That free soloing is crazy! Probably the most dangerous "sport" (if we can call it that) in the world! They climb on crazy high cliffs without any equipment! I guess for practicing free soloing first you need to be crazy to wish to do it, second you need to be physically 101% ready! They need to be able to hold their weight with a finger or two for seconds, maybe minutes sometimes...

Climbing in the arenas is with safety ropes, and the point is to get the first to the top! I saw few competitions, it's interesting! I would bet on this If I have a chance to watch it more regularly somewhere... placing random bets on this is like playing coin toss, 50/50 to win! Pure luck!

The pictures you have shown doesn't look like an indoor sports to me. Sports Climbing in an actual cliff or mountain is very dangerous, everything could go wrong, if you know what I mean. Rock formations in cliff or mountain sometimes are not strong enough to hold the weight of the climber, without proper harness and safety equipment, the climber would die.

So for me, It's a no go for betting since life is in the line. I feel like my heart is gonna stop every time I see a life and death situation unexpectedly.

^ It ios quite dangerous but they had their own protective gears on this, they had with a rope and harness that support when they will fall and most likely tournaments are not just a random place to climb, it is the indoor place or if in outdoor venues they make it sure everything is strong to hold and another plus to protect them is the rope and harness, the last is the is the floor under the climbing walls has a cover of foam so that if someone will accidentally fall will not get hurt too much. Nevertheless, there are two types of climbing competitions, is onsight and redpoint competition.

The apparent risks or risks we imagine are quite deceiving. I don't think rock climbing is as dangerous a sport as we think. I don't have statistics for this sport, but as far as I know, bodybuilding was the most deadly sport recently (surprise!). This is due to the fact that in the pursuit of building muscle and burning fat, athletes destroy their bodies with pharmacology and then literally die from the common cold.

Seems like a pretty niche betting market.

I personally think that it's just too prone to manipulation to be a feasible bet for more sophisticated bettors. There will also be a general lack of liquidity.

If you are an enthusiast, sure, go for it. But just know that there is no real authority that is keeping the bets fair, and it's essentially the Wild West. I can imagine if the betting markets for climbing did get large, then there will be quite a high incidence rate of "match fixing" whereby climbers fail on purpose to get themselves or friends/family a handsome payoff.

Without a doubt it is a scary sport, after all we know there is a great deal of the population that is afraid of heights and this sport is about climbing at impressive speeds, for the most part the ones I have seen use a rope and other security measures to avoid that something like that happens, but if you see some YouTube videos about their training regimen and the ones that have the hobby of climbing then you will see they do not use protective gear.

They are not using anything as they are challenging their own selves to conquer their fear inside, for people who are afraid with heights this kind of sports might not get their interest, so with chances that they'll be playing or gambling with this sports.

there are people who don't have that appetite looking  for someone who are very fast climbing up, though there are security protocols that the facilitator are providing but accident still possible to happened,.

More on safety measures and more protections for aspiring participants.

I hope if such competitions become available for betting one day, at least the participants will use protective equipment, maybe it will even be a mandatory condition. Otherwise, betting on a competitor losing against someone would basically mean (in some cases) betting on his/her death, which seems kind of immoral :(

I tend to agree and I think there's not much market for climbing challenges, and I think it's pretty bizarre to bet such kind of field. Yeah I've seen such competition but never heard that it could be presented on betting.

It's really that dangerous and even if we say there's enough equipment to support them it's still too risky for a player. I believe but can be played indoor since there are competitions in this currently held with some realistic cliffs that they can climbed upon.

Safety gears should be standard because even though this is just involved climbing but considering the risk of accidents and possible death could be still there since the sport is involve in high or peak places where participants could possibly fall off.
So it should be standard and they shouldnt be let to participate or join if they wont comply with the rules and regulations.
Asking out if i would bet out on such competition then it would depend but honestly this is a bit boring to look upon but since i havent seen
one then i might change off those words if i do see the actual thing..

It is somewhat thoughtful for me to answer no, because although I like many sports I do not bet on all of them and in fact sometimes not even close to thinking of some to make a bet and this is the case.

The  climbing has different levels of risks and challenges according to the version in which you practice or compete.

I remember that a documentary called "Free Solo" in 2019 won the Oscar for best documentary, the guy who did the feat is one of the most respected climbers in the world in that version.

In fact Alex Honnold¹ climbed more than 900 meters without ropes (Free Solo) El Capitan, in Yosemite National Park.

That's highly unlikely because failing could mean injuries for them or a deflated ego because they know that they could go much faster than that. It is indeed a niche market but if we were to give it a chance, it might not leave a bad aftertaste.

Well, I also believe in every game at least the fear of manipulation will always be there, no matter they are professional sportsmen, because when they involve big money for a manipulation it is very likely that they will do it. But for me, it is just a concern because I also believe that not all sportsmen will agree with such manipulation, they have trained from a young age to finally become professional sportsmen and because of that reason I still believe there are still many honest sportsmen in this world.

That's basically what I just said and you quoted it anyway. To be fair, I do think that the more people have the same concern means that it needs to be addressed first.

Well yeah, risk is always there and when speed is the requirement, there are even more accidents than it would be under normal circumstances.

I love the second point you made. Whenever a new sport is added for betting there are opportunities for easy money because not everyone is aware of the skills of specific players/athletes and you can take advantage of that. It is similar to how some newly formed dota2 teams are strong but they are always underdog because bettors aren't aware of them. I have seen crazy odds on esports at times and the underdogs win quite easily.

I think we will have a very good opportunity to learn who are the most skilled athletes during the next olympics in Japan, since climbing will be added to the international games. If the public really enjoy the competitive category of the sport, it will become popular outside olympics on the next years. Maybe it's already a good idea to start looking on google who the athletes will be, to find informations about their individual records.
Such informations can give a great advantage to gamblers when betting during the games that may happen in July, next month.

I was aware that people climb mountains and all but wasn't aware that there are competitions going for those. It would be pretty cool to bet on climbing events given the stream is available. I have bet on cycling in past at fiat sportsbooks so I love betting on new and refreshing sports.

If you look closely and read OP, you will see that he posted screenshots from a video and if you have time please watch the whole video, I watched it and was worth the time. It's 3 hours long though so you may want to skip some parts.

Talking about risks, they are well equipped and there is much more risk in sports like MMA and even deaths in boxing, so I cannot associate much risk with the climbing sport when I see people betting on boxing and MMA.

are you living under a rock ? climbing is never new and almost all of the population knows that this game exist and theres a pic in the first post if hows this game played but even without pics or vids ,
we can easily imagine what this game look like because the word climb is pretty basic and why use fiat but crypto is supposed to be your going to use because its more easier .

This is one crazy sport, which requires great physical endurance...

I don't really like extreme sports like this, and also I don't recognize the contestants who are competing, I don't think I will follow the bet inside.

Wow, this looks really interesting. I did know that there are such competitions which takes place occasionally but I never knew people also gamble on such competitions.
I am really interested in doing such indoor climbing as well but never really got the opportunity. May be some day I will.
Does anyone know if there are gambling sites which allow us to place bets on such events?

I don't think so. OP was only curious if we would actually bet on such sports, and afaik, there's no such gambling competition, at least officially anyway that hosts these kinds of bets from what I know anyway. The sport is quite reliant on body fitness so the winner could be clearly seen if someone had done enough research so I hardly doubt it would get an audience. It's a solo sport after all, and unlike marathons with a clear path, mountain climbing still has that factor of human intervention or environment intervention, if they had chosen to do this inside or outside respectively. It makes it random, yes, but it also introduces probabilities to actually manipulate it so that climbing is easier.

You may be right but I think manipulations can be done in most of the sports where betting is involved such as cricket, soccer, golf, boxing etc...
On the other hand, fitness can determine one's strength but not his agility and endurance. Anyway, it would be a nice option to bet on such sports.

Climbing might look dangerous and life-threatening from outside but it is all about skill and practice. The first time I watched a few sports like NFL, I felt like the players must sustain huge injuries looking at their size and the nature of the sport but I was wrong and although injuries are there, they are never career-ending. Similarly in MMA heavyweight fights, you will feel like a fighter will die today but even when they get knocked out cold, they gain consciousness and feel better within a few minutes.

So climbing or any sport might look risky when you watch it but once you actually understand the dynamics and the skill of the competitors, it will not look that risky. As far as betting goes, people bet on slapping tournaments which is far more devastating than climbing.

^ Wait, what? Is that track and field sports that you need only shoes to do it?
I totally disagree with it, climbing sports really need safety gear like harnesses, ropes, helmet nuts, built, carabiner and etc that protect you when you fall, and also if that is an indoor wall, the ground should have a foam that if anyone will fall does not hurt badly. But yes, this sport is a very challenging game because this needs skills and strategies for how you will climb continuously to the rock, it needs your full strength just to reach the top.

It depends on the number of bookies accepting those kinds of bets. Once there are a lot of them the odds will be "normal", as normal as for other sports. I mean, they will be forced to give reasonable odds because of the competition. No one wants to bet on a site with toned-down odds, gamblers will just move to another place.

no doubt that this is a very complicated type of sport to monitor and analyze players, for example, I don't even know where I would start analyzing each player and how I would determine the winner of each game, it would be a waste of money and time, maybe because Knowing that people could hardly follow this sport, bookmakers are not paying much attention to it. a little offtopic, to this day I don't understand how people manage to do analysis in horse racing, how do you know which horse will win? I see in the movies that this horse betting market seems to be the kind of betting market for the rich and very smart people.


It's strange that I've seen people climbing with only shoes on, but I've also seen people climbing with some safety equipment like ropes. I think that only people without a love for the life run the risk of climbing without ropes, in the case of sports I think they are obliged to climb with ropes, I could be wrong

Shit, man, this must be really scarry. I mean if we are talking about climbing only in shoes  :o
And as i said before - this is a bad idea to afford someone to bet on such activity, because this will just motivate climbers to do it again (and even will invite more people to that). Let us bet on something more peaceful.

I think a great deal of this has to do with perception, it is known that one of the most common fears that people have is the fear of heights, and this is completely natural as falling from a high point can be lethal, however sports like football generate way more injuries as the contact is constant on almost every play but falling for an experimented climber is very rare, however if it happens and they are not using security and protective equipment it can generate injuries from which it will be impossible to recover.

I don't think many people gamble on such events because these are eventful and exciting but because there aren't many interested audiences hence there aren't any gambling sites offering market for them, at least none that I have played at.

You can surely take part in such events because climbing is not a huge sport yet and I think there shouldn't be too much competition, all you need to do is find the right event and process to take part in. I am afraid of heights and I would avoid such competition though.

Like I mentioned above, I don't think any sports betting site offers markets for climbing yet.

So far, all the gambling sites I'm playing do not offer to bet in climbing challenges, if there is one,  it's going to be challenging, it's one sport that needs discipline, our country has an organization for sports climbing and they are becoming popular here in our country but it's an indoor kind of sports climbing.
It will soon become part of the Olympics and will be introduced in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics but due to the pandemic, it is delayed and will happen the next year 2021, after it become a part of the Olympics its popularity will soar and might be included in many sports betting.

If there's completion and there is a winner, I am pretty sure that we can see some group or people will find a way to gamble. And yes there's a competition for rock climbing albeit not really popular since it's a pretty niche and expensive sports to be in and if you can count, it's also deadly.

That's true, if there's interest then expect that someone will start the bet and you'll find out that it's already starting to facilitate.

I don't see any crypto related gambling sportbook who offer this kind of game from their list, maybe it needs to have wider market.

The only possible way if you really wanted to gamle from this sport, you may find someone local who also have the same interest.

But still, as climbing competitions are not too popular compared to the other sports, not many casinos will give people a chance to place a bet on the climbing tournaments. But after I tried to search for a while, I can not find any betting site with a climbing tournament. Even though a gambling site offers that sport, maybe you can not use crypto to place a bet as the sports do not have many fans.

I really like this sport, besides football, rock climbing is one of the hobbies I do on holidays with my friends, I think rock climbing is a sport that is far from cheating in its competition compared to other sports that really often involved in the form of cheating, just like you, I also searched on several gambling sites but did not find any sites that made this sport a form of online gambling and it seems that rock climbing is not a sport that can be used as a bet because it has few criteria in judgment to determine winner.

I think cheating can happen in any sport and it just requires some tactics and corrupted volunteers for the competition.
May be people are less interested in betting for such sports and that's why the gambling sites would not have took the burden to add this sport.
But as climbing gets more traction in upcoming years may be the gambling sites would start considering to add the category for betting.

As we know there are many ways to cheat, one of the oldest and easiest is rigging the games, you only need two people to come to an agreement about one of them losing and then both of them using a third party can pool their money and then make a bet towards the winner and make a lot more money than what they will make otherwise by competing fair and square, I am not saying this is happening but it is a possibility that always exists.

Even if there is a bookie that offers climbing bet I don't think I can bet on that type of sport betting, personally I prefers any sport that has statistical analysis and base my bet on past records,  eg soccer, basketball, lawn tennis etc as such climbing sport doesn't fit into these criteria, in this type of betting wining will be based on pure luck just like dice betting thus there is the tendency of losing many bets although the sport will be of interest to other people but betting on it will be very risky.

Yeah, this is not really fun to bet on the climbing sport even it may be an interesting sport.
however, I am not sure that winning is only pure luck. I know that climbing skill is very important here, the experiences, and also how they can see every chance to use the track of climbing. It is about the skill and speed, who are speeder and also more skilful, they have more chances to win. So, it is not only about luck.

I dont really see this to be entertaining and this is of course talking about pure skill because climbing does involved on how you do make out
ways on where to take the fastest track for you to win but is this something interesting to look or see upon?
This might look to be interesting into some eyes but not for me and i would rather see that being discussed slapping tournament
rather than on seeing these climbing sport tournament which i would see a bit more interesting than on this one.

I cannot think of a cheat how rock climbers will do just for them to get the upper hand. But even with that said of being far cheated, there could be really people that will try to think of tricks as they're into it just like any other sports that we have and saw the tricks that's being done by people associated with it.

It is not a common sport so there's really no casino that would take part on it if there's not yet demand from their players. If they'll add it, they should have a survey and poll to ask their players if they would love to bet on it and they should have a good provider for that sport.

I love climbing. Both doing it, and watching others achieve new routes. So, if there was an option to bet on it, I'm sure I would. Although, I'm much more interested in setting new records, rather than competitive side by side, climbing. I'd like to see some betting on new records on climbs in the Yosemite, although I understand that your referring to the more, competitive indoor climbing than outdoor.

I believe climbing was to be included in the Olympics before Covid postponed it, right?

There's definitely statistical analysis to be had in the world of climbing. For example, how they deal with a overhang, how x performed against y on grade x climbs. Climbing isn't about luck, in fact much of the luck element is removed. So, what your saying is you prefer sports with more luck based elements. Since, climbing tries to remove luck as much as possible, otherwise you fall. This is especially true when free soloing or outdoor climbing as there's a greater risk of injury. Even when roped up, outdoor climbing has more risk of smashing yourself against the face generally.

If you've ever seriously climbed, you'll find yourself mapping out the route, spotting, and figuring out the least luck dependent route possible. Although, there are luck based elements in there. For example, sometimes you have to make a jump to continue, and depending on the circumstances that could well include a lot of luck.

You may say that it's not the type of sports you are expecting but the fact that they used pure skills plus a death defying act specially on a real mountain/outdoor that's is enough to tell who's willing to win the challenge. I don't think this type of sports doesn't have a statistics record for both old and new challenger. Each type of sports have their own data of collecting those who are worth it to bet their money. But I've never tried to bet this game once but if there is I might have to.

Generally walls are graded. So, although you might not have the same climber on the same wall, they will have a grade. This does actually introduce statistical analysis, but it also introduces a element of luck based on the fact that climber x, and climber y haven't actually attempted the same wall, but have got times on the same grade level.

Although, this would only be true for competition type events, since a lot of climbing is self done, and there's no judge so it might not be entirely accurate. Therefore, only records held on competition walls could be considered.

Climbing challenges are not very popular here in our country but I read we have a small group of climbers dedicated to market, it will become an Olympic medal event next year, so I'm sure the popularity will explode, I have watched some climbing events and it's not an easy sport, you need to have a tone and strong body because you are carrying your weight and you have to think quick because one step you will slide and lose the competition.

This sport is indeed a very extreme sport, but did you know that philosophically this sport has an effect on everyday life. such as patience, strength, and courage.

I've tried it, with a low height because I was still a beginner at the time, and as far as I know, this rock climbing gym has different types of climbing, such as speed, boulder and lead.

With the existence of a gambling site that bets on this sport, I believe it will be a strong driving force for the world of rock climbing that will attract the interest of many people.

I suppose there are records about who won past competitions and the results each climber has gotten over another, the problem is that most likely this information is hard to find so even if you could find a casino where to place your bets then it is going to be problematic to determine who is the winner, and the next problem is that bookmakers have the tendency to give themselves an even higher edge when they offer sports in which information is scarce which means that it is going to become almost impossible to overcome the house edge if you are someone that is trying to bet on a professional level.

Although I love sport climbing which is very interesting but sometimes a little bit stressful but I wouldn't mind to see more of this. I would love to know more about it entire interface in which gamblers can place a trade. Climbing challenge would still be very interesting cause I could remember when we do go for mountain climbing in my state during those years I was in high school.

You can watch some videos on Youtube to see how the sports looks like including the betting.

All information you want to see is just there.

But if I'm not mistaken, this sports or events didn't listed yet even before on crypto-gambling site so you might find it hard to bet using your crypto.

Probably it will but the first few days, months and years of this sport being available to sports betting sites will be problematic because it's a niche hobby that will probably have a hard time getting an audience or it could have a reverse effect like exploding in popularity which is the better of the two.

Don't make it that much hype, it's just people climbing rocks or walls, nothing especial besides some really cool jumps from a gap and some speed climbs but other than that, it's just a rock climbing. It maybe amazing to you but the problem is that other gamblers might have a hard time betting on this one.

Exactly , There is nothing in comparable to this game, I love Climbing mountains/rocks when i was in college and wishing to comeback those years that i can do exactly what i can do in the past.

But certainly , I will bet on this Climbing events.

Don't be judgemental mate this is a sport actually and not something that created for gambling  ;D

I have a friend that love climbing in any places we go, sometimes he even spent our time because of His passion in this kind of sports.

But i must admit that this is one of the riskiest sports i ever saw, but of course there are safety gadgets mate and they even have harness for their own safeties.

---

But like you? i don't wanna join betting in such risky games.

all sports are only started as a sport and not for gambling but  people are so creative and they think that it would be a good idea to asociate sports in gambling .
 there are many risky sports and are already popular , some people copy it and risk their lives .
we cannot avoid that but in formal event , it was more safer than we thought. they prepare safety gears and the contestants are professionals .

Bookies would be the one whom would decide if they would offer such lines because there would be main factors that should be checked out before they would be offering such line.

It cant just be easily be included without considerations because any sport couldnt really be directly considered on where gambling or making out bets is plausible due to some factors

like the terrain, if the path is random or already fixed or specific etc.. If there's ever some climbing betting then i would surely pass.

I didn't know that deaths are part of this sport and I thought all the safety measures like a string is attached to their back in case their balance gets disturbed. It must be a terrible feeling to make a bet on a player and then he dies, that's quite a strange feeling. I feel bad for wrestlers when I bet on them and they are knocked out or even when they knock out opponents so I am not sure how much death would traumatize me, maybe I won't be able to bet again.

I don't think there's a need to popularize this sport if many deaths are happening during such events. I always prefer sports like soccer and basketball where it's fun to watch and there is rarely a serious injury. Trae Young had a bruised leg and he was away from a few games, such is the sensitivity of the sport.

I have never heard that climbing sports can be used as a gamble, I am a rock climbing fan and this sport is a really extreme sport because it takes guts, strength and a really healthy physique to be able to do it, but to be honest I am Haven't found any betting exchanges that have been betting on rock climbing so far, if anyone finds such an exchange please let me know because I want to try betting on the sport.

Jim Collins, one of my all time favorite authors is a Rock Climber. I have never placed a bet on this sport as I have always watched it for the thrill of it. This is a sport that requires participants to have lots of stamina. It is not easy to bet on Rock Climbing because of lack of structures that defines what a win is or is not. One of the parameters for a  perfect betting game is that the outcome for most events is not easy to guess. However, if you are interested in Rock climbing betting you need a good understanding of the various aspects on which bets can be placed.

I remember I watched this film called 'Free Solo' where Alex Honnold climbed El Capitan without any ropes or life-saving gear! When that filmed released, I think it had an impact on climbing challenges in general in attracting more audience to the sport.

I do see the potential of climbing challenges becoming as a source of gambling maybe in the future. Since its audience are very much niche, the sport becomes more and more popular over the years. Assuming that there is an available bet on climbing challenges, I will definitely participate on it.

it came to me as a surprise that climbing has been officially introduced into the Olympics in Tokyo, I should have been more aware of the ongoing of the sport. However, I kind of do not like the technical or sports indoor climbing specialties, I am (perhaps was) more of a "trad" climber (traditional climbing) which takes place in the open, usually along relatively long routes in which you use your own tools for self-protection. However I do enjoy the precision and dedication of sport climbing and also the people who create the routes - much more difficult than it looks.

Why not I have seen videos of indoor mountain climbing and it's not an easy sport to practice you need strong hands and quick thinking to get to the top, I will definitely bet on this kind of sport, it's an exciting sport to bet on and to watch and every competitor has a good chance to win in the sports it's very popular among mountainous countries but they adopt it indoor as a competitive sport.

Of course this is one of the hardest indoor game as i have tried this several times and until now i can't make it to the top since the trainer says this needs a lot of focus and time before being expertise .

i will surely bet on this game if being available in crypto gambling sites , though i have not seen any that gives odds on this kind of game.

gambling is a place where tons of investors are gifted , they even created a different format in each sports on how to bet lol.

It is definitely a very interesting sport and probably quite popular in some countries. It must be admitted, however, that it is still very big niche, so the competition is not big in it. In a sport where the competition is not big, there are two possibilities:
1. There is one leader who wins it all
2. It is completely unpredictable, so you bet like playing roulette.
Of course, if someone is passionate about it, why not, but looking at it objectively, it doesn't seem to be an attractive sport for betting.

First, there is no official climbing committee that will foresee tournaments and climbing competitions as far as I know, so unless someone with enough money and a burning passion for climbing steps up and creates the organization himself, we wouldn't see full-blown climbing tournaments in the near future. Furthermore, this is one of those sports where the risks outweigh the rewards, you'd literally be climbing a cliff hundreds of meters above surface with a few harnesses and balls of steel, what else is there to say about that. It's not like I am a critic of the climbing sport and its future path to popular notice, but looking at things right now, it may take a while before people catches wind of this and starts betting money on the athletes too. Basically technicalities, lack of proper tournament system, and a lot more. Rock climbing may indeed be a promising type of sport with potentials to be included in the gambling and betting scene, but until these issues persists, we would have problems seeing it in the competitive scene.

Not actually popular to an extent if I'm to give my view about it..... you'll definitely have to support one of the climbers and gradually get to know he's/her skills, as well get to know some of the opponents in the climbing competition.
Getting use to the the rules of it will be of great help when gambling or betting on this...this will totally be hectic for some not until they familiarize with some of the rules and regulations guiding the competition.

This not even popular in sports world , so i don't think that gambling sites will have this in their lists of sports to bet from or bookmarker .
i have only seen this for some youtube videos yet i did not like the concept because for me this sport is boring and has no big impact , yes this maybe a hard sports but there are no special skills to have but strong arms and timing of course.
maybe this sounds like the other thread Slapping tournament in which same as boring as this.

Of course it wont because bookies wouldnt consider out things which arent on demand or simply that wont really benefiting out and i dont see this climbing challenges would really be that interesting because
it isnt really that kind of sport that will really be that appealing since you dont know if those tracks or ranges would really be already familiar which you wouldnt know the odds of winning of a certain
climber and also i dont see any enjoyment or excitement about climbing challenges.There might be some people who do really make out some bets but not really that much.

I am not too familiar with climbing competitions so if there are betting for climbing, I think I will skip that but if I just want to spend money, maybe I will pick a random player to bet. Besides that, climbing competitions is not popular in television and maybe only a few people watch on that competitions. But I think that some people know better about climbing competitions and they like to watch the competitions but for placing a bet or not, that will depend on themselves. If people can get entertainment from the sports and see there are bookmarkers available to betting on those sports, people will try to place their bets.

is there a gambling exchange that makes rock climbing a bet? From several gambling sites that I have accessed, I have never found it, so, to be honest until now I have never risked my money on rock climbing, so far I really like this sport and even once a month I and some friends do it on several hills near where my friend lives, even though the hill is not too extreme, but in my opinion it still provides an extraordinary challenge and test of courage.

Even if you only do it once a month related to climbing sports or maybe rock climbing, but it's still good and healthy, of course. Because even though it's also not an extreme altitude, it will still increase adrenaline and of course it will nourish your heart too. So far we never knew this sport was available on sportsbooks or maybe, we who didn't pay much attention to it and didn't look for it so we missed it. Of course, if this sport was easily found in sportsbooks, I'm sure there would be a lot of people betting on this sport.

I have seen a lot of replies in this thread and there are mixed emotions about the sport. While some fear that promoting this type of sport can be unhealthy as it causes deaths, there are others who believe there are more dangerous sports that exist like boxing and wrestling so it's fine to bet on such sports.

Personally, I don't see a problem with betting if markets are available because these events are not being organized solely for betting. There are stupid things like Slapping tournaments that are actually happening just for betting purposes.

Most likely you have confused something - in this sport, all competitions are held with insurance and death is almost impossible. I do not have relevant statistics, but I am sure that, for example, boxing is a much more dangerous sport (deaths happen there more or less regularly).
As for the bets, the liquidity of the market is low and the best option now is to look for a partner to make a direct bet.

While you are here discussing, some are busy with real business ... This photo is from my archive, and you won't believe where this photo was taken. Unfortunately, the author of the photo is not me, but a very close person to me, the person for whom the ascent cost three frostbitten fingers (which, by the way, he does not regret). So if any of you once dreamed of climbing Everest, just hold your breath and enjoy this landscape. 8)

Every physical sport have dangers attached to it indoor climbing accidents are very rare although there is one report that it can happen
https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/woman-falls-death-indoor-climbing-gym-colorado-78325469 indoor climbing challenges have auto-belay system that keeps them from falling, but unfortunately, in this case, there seems to be malfunction..

It's ok to bet on mountain climbing it is now considered and accepted as a sport, it's actually better than some of the sports like the one you\ve mentioned slapping.
 

I have to admit that rock climbing is a good activity for health. although we should be accompanied by a professional mentor if we want to do it.
Because rock climbing is a very extreme activity for me. I like it, but don't think about doing it. Of all the sportsbooks that I use, unfortunately,
rock climbing is not available yet. If there is a sportsbook that provides it, I might also want to try betting on rock climbing.

maybe the reason why sportsbooks are not listing this because it is not very popular among bettors. because if they see the demand, they will surely list it. so not expecting this to come to crypto bookies anytime soon. fiat bookies first. and then, if crypto bookies saw the interest in fiat bookies, they will definitely list it.
but this kind of sports is really interesting to watch but not really familiar with them.

so to make  a quick search, i found some popular climbers today in this  article  (https://www.ispo.com/en/people/gines-lopez-garnbret-honnold-ten-strongest-climbers-world) =

-Adam Ondra, Chris Sharma, Alberto Gines Lopez, Janja Garnbret, Lena Herrmann, Alex Honnold, Alex Megos,  Sasha DiGiulian, Tommy Caldwell, Ashima Shiraishi - anyone ring a bell?

A lot of people getting interested in more challenging sports that could test their physical capabilities like mountain climbing, even women are also participating in this one but the risk of their lives is too high as their protective gear wasn't enough to protect them once they had fallen.
I'd like to see this being included in huge sports events like Olympic games or even in local sports events maybe this could help to promote this game.

It is okay. There's still not that much attention to rock climbing but who knows that in the future, we'll see those hobbyists of this activity and they will influence a lot of people to love this sport.

And by that time, if there's that much traction on this, there will be some interesting bookies that will start to look at it and will put it to their books as there are people who loves to do it so, they'll have an idea that there will be also bettors that would love to do it.

This is an interesting sport and it takes a lot of guts and dedication. It looks hard to do it especially the mountain climbing compared to indoor climbing.

I dont see a site where you can place bet with this particular sport, maybe because its not too popular and bookmakers prefer the usual sports.

Well it would be nice to include climbing challenges on sports that we can bet for a change.

It is true that rock climbing has not been considered popular by sportsbooks, and therefore has not been included in the list of sports to bet on.
If in the future its popularity increases, maybe we will see rock climbing on the list of sportsbooks. Then the names you mention are only a few
people I know, because I don't really know rock climbing. I only watched rock climbing a few times, I was more focused on football. The names of
all the names you mentioned, maybe I know Chris Sharma best, one of my favorite rock climbing athletes. How Chris Sharma did rock climbing
quite amazed me, only a few people who have climbing techniques like Chris Sharma.

It is an interesting sports and seen video and really can't even think how much practice and precision would be going on every move as the mountains or rocks are steep, rocky edges and on every step chances to get hurt always exists. Really require a lot of stamina and one mistake make you away from the game at times. I will not be able to pick or bet on any one under such situation, will be really difficult.

I doubt that rock climbing will become popular, firstly it is not a game sport, and secondly it is not a team competition. Perhaps it is interesting to see how someone has achieved mastery in something (for example, climbing), but it is unlikely that anyone will do it regularly. I've noticed that only team competitions have become popular lately (maybe because of the randomness and the fact that each team has a chance against each).

I like the sports but never have any serious affiliations with the players. Even i do not know what sort of climbing competitions are held and where.

It will be helpful if anyone can give us the link on bets which are being made on these competition. This will help grow the interest and i may bet too.

One single mistake can bring you down and lose the game, discipline and stamina a combination that really requiring you a good mental stability.

players for this kind of sports really need to have a lot of determinations, as even in their practices hard climbing that they needed to complete, it will add

skills inside you.  those knowledge that needed to acquire while you are climbing and trying hard to reached the top at much lesser time but still safe to complete your task.

in my country, this sport is not popular because there are no rocks mountains in my country
anyways, I don't really like this sport of climbing, the winner is very difficult to predict because luck is very influential too

I thought what would happen if I placed my bet on a climber and he failed because his leg or arm cramp, that very suck
to make a bet in this sport, I wouldn't do it

I think a key part of this, like many sports, would have to be about safety and fairness. You'd want to ensure that the people competing had a strong incentive to win (a decent prize pool up for grabs) without fixing the race in any way. You might want to drop them into age or weight categories to equalize it a bit - like you see in other sports like boxing. It's hard to see it becoming really popular however, because the sheer physical intensity of the event will mean it is relatively short, where to arrange the competitions and I'm not sure there are enough climbers out there to create a large scale competition. It does seem like something Red Bull extreme sports would cover already, so maybe there needs to be an extreme sports category at every sports book.

I guess the athlete must be professionals because it's a bit risky for someone who is not trained to participate in a climbing challange and since it's a professional sports I will gladly gambling around it with full pleasure and high expectations knowing too well much casualties wouldn't occur . Because it would be absurd if I bet on a life treatened game but once it's fully professional then my bet goes in

I doubt that there is no rock mountain in your country  :D ​​maybe there is a special community in your country for this hobby. but indeed rock climbing is not as popular as ordinary climbing boards. and climbing board  is exist in several big tournaments like the olympic games , asean games etc, and yes sport with only single player hard to choose espicially if you dont really follow that sport.

Its my first time to see such sports as I have not seen it here. But yes, I have seen people claim on hills, but not this. I just watched 50% of the video you shared. I lost myself in it. Yes, I feel, really a fantastic sports to bet on. But would be really a challenging one. Really a thrilling sport to look at. Its to better to bet on how far a player reaches instead of betting on who wins. Every claim has its challenge man.

I'm just thinking about the most positive possibility that might happen with it.

You've said are facts and we don't know the future of it, but we also don't know on the side of sportsbook. They might think of it as a sport as long as there's traction and popularity.

But right now, we can see that it isn't yet popular.
