Feels like climbers are being more vocal this year. Great timing with all eyes on Olympics qualifications and the sport itself gaining popularity. Great to see.

They point out (and it makes sense to me) that problem getting worse is in part related to the sport getting more popular and professional. It's up to IFSC to decide how healthy will it be.

Volker and Eugen Burtscher actually resigned from IFSC medical commission in protest against this problem not being addressed.
