For the exponents of 'watching paint dry' there apparently, is to be a new Olympic Sport - Sports Climbing - so-called. Yes, in 2020, Sports Climbing is to be introduced another International competition the British will never win - no Gold Medals there then. Sports climbers apparently, are latant tradional climbers with - no balls. Fixed, pre placed protection is a must for climbers without the neck for real climbing. No doubt, the BMC's new 'Leaders ladders' will play a prominant part in this new, Olympic sport. It is to be hoped, that the Sports Climbing contestants can cope; survive the inevitable drug-testing.
