1 Introduction
Rock climbing is hundreds of different techniques on terrain of different steepness, roughness, with variations in size, shape, “activity” and the relative location of hooks and supports. Climbing develops spatial orientation, flexibility, accuracy and coordination of movements, muscle groups of the upper shoulder girdle, legs, back and abdomen.
Compliance with safety requirements, proper insurance, qualified organization of the training process allow many people to enjoy climbing, ensure safety, reduce and prevent injuries. This allows to attract a wide range of students to classes, regardless of age, gender, and physical fitness degree. [1.2]
Rock climbing competitions are not an extreme activity. The experience of organizing international competitions among athletes with disabilities confirms this fact. [3]
2 Materials and Methods
The first international competitions among athletes with disabilities were organized in cooperation with the Russian Climbing Federation and the Italian sports climbing Federation (FASI) on July 2-3, 2006 in Yekaterinburg (as part of the 2006 European championship). Athletes from Belarus, Italy, Russia and Japan took part in the competition.
The international Federation of sport climbing (IFSC) at its founding conference on January 27, 2007 in Frankfurt am Main (Germany), decided to continue working on the rock climbing development among athletes with disabilities. A special Commission was created under the leadership of IFSC Vice-President Alexander Piratinsky – IFSC Paraclimbing Commission

The first IFSC Congress with the status of an independent international Federation (Matsumoto, Japan, October 2007) decided to include competitions for climbers with disabilities in the annual international calendar.
3 Results and Discussion
A research group was created at Ural Federal University to study the possibilities of organizing and conducting competitions. [1-7] Research problem:
Determination of disability categories that allow participation in rock climbing competitions. [6]
Selection and equipment of tracks for training and competitions. [4]
Providing security and insurance for different categories of disability. [3]
Medical support of sports events. [5]
Optimization of the competition program and regulations. [7]
Organization of the training process for different categories of participants. [1]
Together with scientists from the University of Perugia (Italy), a “Classification of disability categories in rock climbing” was developed. It is successfully used to date. Piratinsky A. E is the responsible executor of the cooperation agreement between the University of Perugia (Italy) and the Ural Federal University from 2014 to the present. The agreement includes joint scientific and pedagogical research, lectures and practical training with students, undergraduates and teachers.
The work is carried out 2 cycles a year. each cycle is at least 72 hours. Teaching is conducted in English.
At first, all climbing competitions were held in the open air on natural rocks. However, active French entrepreneurs developed, designed and manufactured special models of rocks, which were prefabricated structures made of plastic and wood. They could be installed in gyms. Rock climbing acquired an even greater number of fans. Although at first many athletes claimed that it is better to compete on natural rocks. Nowadays, all major climbing competitions are held on artificial terrain.
Second official IFSC Cup Italy, Daon – July-August 2009
Participating countries: Hungary, Italy and Russia. Disability categories: visually impaired (B1, B2 and B3) according to the international classification. Athletes with disorders of the musculoskeletal system (DMS).
In September 2010, the IFSC Executive Committee accepted the proposal of the world championship organizers (Arco, Italy) to hold competitions for athletes with disabilities. And on February 26, 2011, the IFSC General Assembly was held in Rome. Here a wide range of issues were discussed in accordance with modern requirements for the development of sports and the possibility of including rock climbing in the program of the 2020 Olympic games.
In March 2011, the University of Perugia (Italy) hosted a scientific and practical conference “Prospects for the development of rock climbing among athletes with disabilities”. Competitions for climbers with disabilities were included in the program of the 11th world championship, which was held in July 2011.
30 men and 5 women from eleven countries participated in the championship: Belarus, China, France, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Italy, Russia, Spain, and Ukraine.

4 Conclusions
Competitions for climbers with disabilities are of great interest to national federations, the management of national Paralympic committees and representatives of the International Paralympic Committee. Currently, scientists, doctors, coaches, competition organizers and judges are working to improve the competition rules that correspond to the specifics of adaptive rock climbing.
