The men’s favourite is Czech climber Adam Ondra, who in addition to competition titles is known for attempting some of the world’s most technically challenging climbing routes.
While the women’s event is seen as more open, Slovenia’s Janja Garnbret is a top pick. The competition takes place from 3-6 August.
