EP Climbing and Vogo Combine Their Expertise at the Climbing World Cup

15/07/2026

Held from 10 to 12 July 2026, the Chamonix Climbing World Cup marked the first collaboration between EP Climbing and Vogo. The two ABEO Group companies each brought their specialist expertise: EP Climbing supplied the walls for the speed and lead events, while Vogo provided a video officiating solution.

The world’s top climbers gathered on Place du Mont-Blanc for three days of competition across two disciplines: speed, a race to the top of the wall, and lead, where athletes aim to climb as high as possible on a challenging route.

EP Climbing Equips the Competition, Vogo Supports the Judges

EP Climbing supplied the walls used for the events. Alongside these installations, Vogo deployed its video technology so judges could review the action whenever a closer look was needed.

In a sport where a single move can determine the rankings, video provides valuable support in assessing performances. The solution helps officials make decisions while keeping the competition running smoothly.

A First Collaboration Bringing ABEO’s Complementary Expertise to Life

In Chamonix, this collaboration brought together two essential elements of a sporting event: the equipment athletes compete on and the tools available to judges. It demonstrates how ABEO companies combine sports equipment and technology to meet the needs of international competition organisers.
