Leonidio Smart Climbing Festival, November 10-13

The Greek coastal town of Leonidio is holding its first Climbing Festival on November 10-13 using a smart and simple tool for their open Marathon event: climbers can register in pairs, climb all day long and mark their route ascents in the Vertical-Life Climbing App on their smartphones. Points are counted automatically according to the 8a.nu ranking game. This new, digital system has already been used on different events, like Melloblocco and the Kalymnos Festival. It has proven to be helpful and fun for both event organizers and climbers. Through the app, the participants can access the festival topos and get real-time info on what others are climbing. With the Vertical-Life app and 800 routes to climb, the first major climbing festival in Leonidio promises to become an awesome event! App download: Vertical-Life.
