In 2013 The Olympic committee will vote on whether climbing should be added as an Olympic sport for 2020. If you enjoyed the video below then please rate it by clicking the like button.

This video shows some of the strongest and most talented kids competing for their country's National Championships. Hopefully in 2020 they will get the opportunity to climb for the US at the Olympics.

Climbing is sport that requires more than just raw strength. It is a chess game played on a vertical wall with real consequences for errors in judgement.

Check out my YouTube channel to see other climbing videos and please help support climbing in becoming an Olympic sport in 2020.

Filmed handheld with a Panasonic GH2 and the 25mm F1.4 and 45mm F1.8 lenses. About 30 % of the shots were filmed with the 45mm F1.8 lens and the 3.9x ETC mode hand held. It is pretty tough to hand hold that focal length. The 35-100mm F2.8 lens cannot get here fast enough.
