On behalf of the International Rock Climbing Research Association (IRCRA), we formally invite you to attend the 5th International Rock Climbing Research Congress, to be held in a virtual format online. The congress is an academic conference held every two years which is dedicated to research in rock climbing.
In light of the ongoing pandemic, we want to bring you the opportunity to engage in the rock climbing scientific community through a virtual
format. We will be offering a similar format of lectures and presentations. In continuing our tradition of bringing researchers and climbers together, conference speakers will
include a combination of researchers and practitioners on topics related to improving climbing performance and ensuring stewardship toward our continued interaction with the climbing
environment.
We, the executive committee of the 5th International Rock Climbing Research Congress, hope that this format provides ample opportunity for exchange among the thought leaders of the climbing
community. Additional details will be provided shortly.
Sincerely,
The Executive Committee of the 5th International Rock Climbing Research Congress
