Rock Master is an international competition climbing event that is held every year in Arco, Italy. The event takes place in two rounds: the first is an on-sight session and the second is called "after work". The final classification is given by the sum of the two events. On Friday the athletes are given a chance to survey the work route, and the actual climbing takes place on Saturday and Sunday. At the competition, two prestigious awards, known as the "Oscars of climbing", are presented: the Salewa Rock Award, and the La Sportiva Competition Award. [1]
In 1985 it was disputed for the first time Sportroccia to Bardonecchia. The following year the event was tied to a stop at the side of the Colodri of Arc. Right on the wall of the Colodri in 1987, played in the first Rock Master. The following year, the race left the rock and from that moment is played only on artificial in a large open space at the base of Colodri. Since 1999, in addition to lead climbing, bouldering and speed climbing competitions were also held.
Since 2006, during the event, a jury give out the "Arco Rock Legends", two awards that are considered the Oscars of climbing: [1]
The competition is usually held the first weekend of September, with a few exceptions:
In 2012 the speed test was valid also as the fourth leg of the World Cup speed climbing 2012. [3]

Joannes was leading McColl when he peeled off a crimp towards the finish. Shiraishi had been beaten by Garnbret, and her final lunge for the finish pad at 2:34 fell short. Women's jersey 6 was tied with Rogora but peeled off trying to navigate past the same crimp Joannes fell on, only for Rogora herself to undershoot the finish pad at 2:39. Chanourdie had been beaten by Pilz when she failed to stick the second to last hold at 2:32. Ruidigier was leading Ghisolfi when he peeled off the same crimp at 1:12. Koller slapped the pad ahead of Verhoeven at 1:33 but undershot. [4]

The first problem's crux involved matching hands on a sloper and reaching left to the finish hold. In the first round on the first problem, Kruder dynoed the first move of the first problem. Rubtsov tried this on his second attempt and became the first to stick the crux sloper and top the problem. Vezonik tried it after Rubtsov, having been unable to progress to the crux on his initial static attempt, but was unable to stick the dyno, and the second time he stuck the crux sloper but could not advance, so he jokingly grabbed the top of the wall instead. Piazza was unable to secure himself on the holds below the crux, barn dooring off his third, dynamic, attempt, upon which he was eliminated. [5]
The second problem was more difficult. It's crux involved a series of three pinches, which none could stick on their first try. Hojer became the first to solve it, using a static heel hook technique, then progressing to the final hold but failing to match hands. Kruder solved it more dynamically right after him, but could not fully reach the second to last hold. Mawem and Piccolruaz were unable to progress to the crux, so they were eliminated. [5]
The third problem had a slab start with a lean far to the left, which Vezonik stuck on his first attempt, only to barn door trying to reach the next hold. Rubtsov succeeded in sticking the lean and reaching the next hold on his second attempt, but could not stick the crimp before the finish hold. Vezonik stuck the next hold on his second attempt, but fell off switching hands. After two attempts, Kruder was unable to stick the lean, while Hojer was unable to reach any handholds at all even after a third attempt, so Hojer was eliminated. [5]
The fourth problem was substantially easier for the remaining contestants than the previous problems. It had a crack start to an overhang and a climb to a sloper that required mantling the second to last hold to reach. On his first and only attempt, Kruder was able to touch, but not hold, the final hold. Then Rubtsov and Vezonik both onsighted the problem, eliminating Kruder. [5]

Flohé had been beaten by Ghisolfi when he peeled off at 1:13, swinging for the final hold. Rogora was beaten by Lukan while on the last hold, but she peeled off. Flohé had been beaten by Ondra when he peeled off at 1:12, lunging for the final hold. [6]

Climbers got three chances each to complete the boulder problem each round. Points were assigned after each round, taking into account the highest reached hold and the number of attempts. In case of a tie, the points of the previous rounds would decide who advances or wins. [7]
The first problem moved from a sloper volume to two pinch volumes to two crimps to a final pinch before the finish hold. Škofic fell off right after gripping the starting hold, eliciting laughter from the crowd. Flohé got to the crimp pair right after him but could not advance on his first two attempt, topping the problem on his third. Ondra found a knee bar between the pinches and onsighted the problem. Stráník got as far as Flohé using a different sequence but encountered a similar issue on his first attempt, topping it on his second. Schenk reached the same point on his first attempt, but could not progress on his other attempts. Piccolruaz unsuccessfully attempted a dyno to the second hold, then could not pass the pinches on his next two attempts. After three attempts each, Ghisolfi and Fossali could not master the initial dyno. The same happened to Škofic on his second and third attempts. As that left three competitors tied for last, the judges decided to eliminate the bottom four competitors on the next boulder. [7]
The next problem involved a stepping dyno to press, followed by a crimp to a sloper volume, followed by a gaston volume to the finish crimp. Škofic reached, but could not stick, the dyno. Flohé stuck it but could not progress beyond the crimp on any attempt. Ondra reached the sloper volume in his first attempt but fell off matching hands, and on his two succeeding attempts in the following gaston. Ghisolfi, Stráník, Piccolruaz, Schenk, and Fossali all had difficulty securing themselves on the initial dyno. Ondra and Ghisolfi cleaned each others' holds. But of the climbers who could not begin the upward climb, only Stráník and Schenk stuck the dyno well enough to begin advancing, and only on their second and third attempt, respectively. [7]
The third was a body tension problem. Flohé and Schenk peeled off the first hold, Ondra and Stráník could not get into position for the reach at the third, and the only thing that changed with further attempts was Schenk reaching the second hold, Stráník getting close to reach position twice, and Ondra reaching out to touch the next hold on his final attempt. As a result, Flohé was eliminated. [7]
The fourth was an overhanging problem with a mantle to finish. Ondra onsighted the problem. Stráník and Schenk both came as far as the sidepull crimp before the finish hold on their first attempt. Neither could improve their progress after attempting to exhaustion. [7]

The women's route was graded 8a, the men's 8b, but as usual the use of both route's holds was allowed, so long as the correct line was clipped. The two routes merged at the ceiling. Both the duel between Grupper and Scherz and that between Schubert and Piccolruaz had to be restarted because of false starts. [9]

The use of both route's holds was allowed, so long as the correct line was clipped. The two routes merged at the ceiling. Piccolruaz false started, so Schenk advanced automatically. Pötzi was leading Rogora when she fell off. Posch was trailing Potočar when he fell off. Ondra nearly beat Van Duysen with a time of 1:04, only for his final dyno to fall short of the finish pad.

The first problem's crux was a dyno to gaston. Flohé onsighted it, while the remaining climbers successively could not stick the crux until Piccolruaz, whose foot slipped just before the final move; then Ondra onsighted it, adding second dyno to the finish hold. On their second attempts, Posch and Van Duysen topped the route, Piccolruaz matched hands on the final could but could not stick it, Schenk could not reach the final hold, Potočar still could not stick the crux, and Ghisolfi peeled off an early sidepull. On their final attempt, Schenk topped it, Ghisolfi and Potočar still could not stick the crux. [11]
The second problem's crux involved compression moves between four volumes. On their first attempts, Flohé, Van Duysen topped the problem, Posch and Piccolruaz struggled with the crux, and Schenk and Ondra struggled to reach the crux. This slated Schenk and Ondra for elimination. On their second attempts, Posch reached the final hold but slipped off, Piccolruaz improved by one move, and Schenk and Ondra failed to improve. On their final attempts, Schenk again came off before reaching the crux and Piccolruaz (who had previously made it further) came off at the same hold, but this time, Ondra progressed to the top. So Schenk and Piccolruaz were eliminated. [11]
The third problem's crux was a three link slab, which was followed by a dyno to the top from crimps. Flohé struggled the most and Ondra the least, but all failed to secure themselves on the same hold. On their second attempts, Flohé caught up, Posch fell off early, as did Van Duysen due to a foot slip, and though Ondra got "closer and closer" to holding the target hold, no scorable progress was made. On their final attempts, none of the competitors could improve except Ondra, who progressed through the crux to match hands on the final hold, only to slip. As a three way tie, previous problems were used to eliminate Posch. [11]
The final problem involved campusing sequences. Flohé onsighted it, Van Duysen could not stick the second to last hold, and Ondra peeled off the second hold, so Flohé won. On their second attempts, Van Duysen topped it on his final attempt, but Ondra slipped off a reach to the upper campus series. [11]

The first boulder involved a step dyno, followed by a sidepull into a gaston. After the failure of Pötzi to stick the dyno, Lukan and Mackenzie reached gaston position on the finish hold but could not match hands. Pilz, Rogora, and Moroni then succeeded in matching hands. Dörffel had the same issue with the gaston as Lukan and Mackenzie, but Čopar also onsighted the problem. This set Pötzi up for elimination, but since Pötzi matched hands at the finish on her second attempt, Lukan, Mackenzie, and Dörffel competed to remain in the competition. Lukan's right foot slipped before she could reach for the finish hold, and Mackenzie and Dörffel again failed to match hands. On the third round of attempts, Lukan and Mackenzie continued to struggle at the gaston, but Dörffel topped the route, eliminating Lukan and Mackenzie. [11]
The second problem involved navigating below a large hexagonal volume in press position, then climbing up to a mantle on top of the volume. Pötzi had difficulty with the start, Pilz onsighted it, Rogora lacked the strength to complete the mantle. Moroni and Čopar was stuck on the same move as Pötzi, but Dörffel onsighted it. On their second attempts, Pötzi and Moroni could only reach the undercling below the hexagon, while Rogora and Čopar could not improve their previous progressions. This set at least Čopar for elimination. None of the competitors could improve on their third attempts, with Rogora peeling off the start hold due to the slip of a foot and Moroni coming one move short of her furthest point. The judges decided Pötzi would join Čopar in elimination. [11]
The third problem moved from an undercling sidepull series with toehooks through a sidepull and crimps to a gaston to finish. Pilz could not latch on to the crimp before peeling. Rogora came off on the same hold, with a reach issue. Moroni reached the gaston on her first attempt. Dörffel struggled with the starting series, slating her for elimination. On their second attempts, Pilz could not improve, Rogora fell off where Dörffel did, Moroni even lower on the starting series, whereas Dörffel was able reach Pilz and Rogora's high point. On their final attempts, Pilz obtained a stronger latch on one, but not both, of the crimps, placing her ahead of Rogora and Dörffel. Rogora failed to improve, while Moroni and Dörffel came off at the modal peel point. The judges eliminated Dörffel over Rogora. [11]
The final problem was sloper heavy, involving a swinging stepping dyno to the largest sloper. On their first attempts, Rogora could not stick the first sloper, whereas Pilz and Moroni had difficulty sticking the dyno. None progressed further on their second attempt, and on their third, Rogora could not pass the first sloper, while Moroni reached the next hold during the dyno, but could not stick either the big sloper or that hold. The judges decided to split the tie by the results of the previous problems. [11]
