Urban Rock-Scaling Showdown: St. Wendel plays host to top-tier speed climbers

St. Wendel, Germany, will be the host of an exciting event titled "Speed Climbing in the City" on June 27th and 28th, 2025. The main attraction will be a 17-meter-high mobile climbing wall by ArtRock, which will serve as the center of the action.

The event promises an unforgettable experience for the region, with Mayor Peter Klär and co-organizer Michael Schultheis highlighting its potential. On Saturday, June 28th, a youth competition will take place at 1:00 pm, followed by introductions of international athletes at 3:00 pm. The main competition, including qualification and final, will take place at 5:00 pm. The awards ceremony will take place at 8:00 pm, and a party with live music will follow at 8:30 pm.

Friday, June 27th, is designed as a family afternoon. Self-climbing opportunities for children and adults, as well as additional attractions like a bouncy castle and a carousel, will be available. A family climbing program on the climbing wall, kids climbing on the bouldering wall, and a framework program with various activities will take place from 2 pm to 6 pm.

Main sponsor Ursapharm emphasizes the social value of the event. Boris Roeder from Ursapharm supports the "Speed Climbing in the City" event, stating that it makes sports accessible to everyone and fosters a sense of community. The current world record for speed climbing stands at under five seconds, and international top athletes will compete at world-class level on the climbing wall. Admission is free on both days of the event.

For a precise identification of the responsible organization and a direct quote from Boris Roeder, further research on the city's website, Ursapharm, or local media is required. However, typical motivations for local businesses' engagement include strengthening the community, youth development, promoting health and movement, city development, and demonstrating corporate social responsibility.
