Kiipeilyosuus

Kiipeilyosuus, which translates to "climbing section" or "climbing part" in English, is a term used in various contexts, most commonly in climbing sports and obstacle courses. In the realm of indoor climbing and bouldering, it refers to a specific route or sequence of holds that a climber aims to complete. These sections are often marked by different colored holds to distinguish them from other routes on the climbing wall. The difficulty of a kiipeilyosuus can vary greatly, from beginner-friendly to highly challenging, requiring advanced techniques and strength.

In obstacle course racing (OCR), a kiipeilyosuus denotes a segment of the course that involves climbing. This could include scaling walls, climbing ropes, or navigating through cargo nets. Successfully completing this section is crucial for progressing through the race. The design of these climbing sections in OCR is intended to test a participant's upper body strength, grip, and agility. The term emphasizes the physical act of ascending as a distinct challenge within a larger event or activity.
