  ***  Relevant Background :  Dry-tooling   (or   drytooling ) is a form of   mixed climbing   that is performed on bare, ice-free, and snow-free,   routes . As with mixed climbing, the climber uses   ice axes   and   crampons   to ascend the route, but uses only   rock climbing   equipment for   protection ; many modern dry-tooling routes are now fully   bolted   like   sport climbing   routes. Indoor   ice climbing   competitions are held on non-ice surfaces and are effectively dry-tooling events... Dry-tooling is   mixed climbing   performed on surfaces that have no ice or snow. The equipment is identical to mixed climbing, except that none of the   ice climbing   tools used by   mixed climbers   for   protection   are employed (e.g.   ice screws ). Dry-tooling climbers use the same   fruit boots ,   monopoint crampons , ...

*** Relevant Background:   Sport climbing  (or  bolted climbing ) is a type of  free climbing  in  rock climbing  where the  lead climber  clips into pre-drilled permanent  bolts  for their  protection  while ascending a  route . [1]  Sport climbing differs from the riskier  traditional climbing  where the lead climber has to insert temporary protection equipment while ascending. ... The safer discipline of sport climbing also led to the rapid growth in  competition climbing , which made its Olympic debut at the  2020 Summer Olympics . While competition climbing consists of three distinct rock climbing disciplines of  lead climbing  (the bolted sport climbing element),  bouldering  (no bolts needed), and  speed climbing  (also not bolted, but instead  top roped ), it is sometimes confusingly referred to as "sport climbing"..."( Link ) ***  Relevant Stats...

  ***  Relevant Background :  Mixed climbing   is a   climbing   discipline used on   routes   that do have not enough ice to be pure   ice climbs , but are also not dry enough to be pure   rock climbs . To ascend the route, the mixed climber uses ice climbing tools (e.g. double   ice tools   and   crampons ), but to   protect   the route, they use   traditional   (e.g.   nuts ) or   sport   (e.g.   bolts ) rock climbing tools. Mixed climbing can vary from routes with sections of thick layers of ice and sections of bare rock to routes that are mainly bare rock but which is “iced-up” (i.e. covered in a thin layer of ice and/or snow). While  alpine climbing  has used mixed climbing techniques for decades (most north-facing alpine routes are iced or snow-covered), the sport came to prominence with  Jeff Lowe 's ascent of the partially bolted  Octopussy  (WI6, M8...
