[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Changwon City in Gyeongnam announced on the 18th that it plans to create an artificial rock climbing wall capable of hosting sports climbing competitions at Mannal Park in Wolyeong-dong, Masanhappo-gu by December this year.

Sports climbing has been adopted as an official Olympic event and is a sport where participants climb artificial rock walls using only their hands and feet.

The artificial rock climbing wall at Mannal Park will have a building area of 600㎡ and a building height of 22m, consisting of an 8m high indoor climbing wall and a 16m high outdoor climbing wall.

The outdoor climbing wall will be constructed as an international standard venue capable of hosting lead, speed, and bouldering competitions.

Facilities capable of hosting all three domestic events are the fourth of their kind following Gyeonggi-do, Gangwon-do, and Ulsan Metropolitan City.

The head of Changwon City's Green City Project Office stated, "With the creation of an international standard artificial climbing wall befitting Changwon Special City, it will be possible to attract various national competitions, and the expansion of sports facilities is expected to greatly contribute to the activation and broadening of the base for rock climbing."
