Speed climbing, bouldering, and leading are the three main types of climbing in the sports world. Competitors in the speed event race against the clock to reach the top of a 50-foot-high (15-meter) wall at a 95-degree angle. Bouldering is a kind of rock climbing where competitors scale various routes without the use of ropes in under four minutes. The courses are not previewed for the athletes and are in a wide range of degrees of difficulty. For the lead competition, competitors have six minutes to scale a 15-meter wall as high as they can.

Sport climbing is not a popular sport to bet on. However, some sportsbooks do have markets for it. On the other hand, basketball is one of the most wagered sports. Make sure you read the guide to KBL wagering if you want to start betting on Korean basketball games.
