We have reached the finish line!

The Vertical-Life Climb to Paris Challenge powered by Mammut has come to an end. The global climbing community has completed the world's longest collective multi-pitch that started in Tokyo and traveled through Badami, Brixen, and Lenzburg before topping out in Paris.

Over 28,000 climbers scaled 14,000,000 meters on this journey that took us four months to complete. Every ascent logged on Vertical-Life during this timeframe went towards the total distance and goal of reaching Paris before the start of the Olympic Games on July 26th. It took 668,988 ascents to get us there just ahead of the world's best competitive climbers arriving to compete for medals on August 5th. We look forward to cheering them on and watching the show that they are bound to deliver in just a few weeks!

Although this epic climb has ended, the fun has not, as it's now time for the final prize raffle! We will not only raffle off select prizes provided by Mammut and Vertical-Life to all participants and to the climbing gym that has contributed the most ascents, but one lucky premium subscriber who participated in the challenge will win an exclusive climbing day with Adam Ondra. The winners will be selected at random and notified by email.

Keep an eye on your inbox; you might be the winner!

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
