Bouldering rules finish reddit. com I have been searching but can't find in the rules how "control" is defined in a bouldering finish. For a proper start on a bouldering problem, have hands and feet on the marked start holds and no part of the body in contact with the ground. In indoor climbing where you match the top hold to send - does it count if instead of touching the top hold with both hands, you touch it with one hand, and your other hand touches that hand, like a stack? In this scenario, we are assuming other rules are followed like being balanced etc 2 Add a Comment trueIs it considered finishing a climb if you touch the very bottom of the final hold with both hands rather than the part they want you to hold?

OP asked about "rules", without any other context, and IFSC feels like the closest thing to a formal ruleset for the sport. According to most competition rules, the bolt holes on holds themselves are technically “on,” so you can use those as a thumb catch or mono, but the holes on the actual walls themselves aren’t legal for your hands (though stepping in them is fine if you can, like Brooke Raboutou famously has in recent World Cups). The climber must be in control of the position. How you get up there is any way possible. But if you have one hand and one foot on the FINISH hold it doesn’t count. In a good finish, both hands are in contact with the finish hold. I think that’s what she’s referring to.
