According to extensive research conducted by Kailas, rock climbing has seen explosive growth in popularity in recent years. It’s not just outdoor enthusiasts—more and more non-professional groups such as corporate executives, office workers, and students are also joining the climbing community. The Kailas research report shows that rock climbing has become the new fashion among outdoor activities.
Beyond individuals, many corporate groups have also joined the climbing wave. They are committed to organizing a variety of engaging climbing events, which often attract significant public attention and enthusiasm. For example, in recent years, Kailas events such as “KAILAS Quest for the Best Climbing Walls in China,” which gathers top climbers, and “Climbing Hope Star,” aimed at promoting youth climbing, have received positive feedback and praise. Kailas’s continuously innovative climbing events are captivating people with their unique charm and distinctive character.
As domestic rock climbing gains momentum, international climbing competitions are also increasing. These include not only official events such as World Cup competitions, Youth World Championships, continental championships, and continental circuit competitions, but also international grassroots events like children’s climbing promotion contests and amateur climbing competitions, all of which have seen record participation numbers.
By July 2011, competitive climbing had been listed by the International Olympic Committee as one of the eight candidate sports for the 2020 Olympics.
Amid the trend of climbing becoming the new fashion, many climbing gear manufacturers have been racking their brains to enhance the "professional yet stylish" features of their products. Soon, having climbing gear that is more professional in quality, easier to use, and more fashionable in appearance became the direction for trendy climbing equipment this year. Among this year’s popular new climbing gear, Kailas’s “9A Climbing Pants” are a prime example. Kailas’s 9A climbing pants not only feature a professional and stylish design but also lead the market in color variety.
