A particularly high level of performance is guaranteed in climbing: Olympic bouldering and speed climbing are part of the programme. In contrast to speed climbing, which is all about pure speed, bouldering is mainly about technique and tactics. 

There will be a total of ten bouldering routes on three walls in the Kraftzentrale in the Landschaftspark. Over 25 nations will come together for the European Championships to determine the best in the U20, U18 and U16 age groups.
