At the Climbing Stadium they will be greeted by Flavio Crespi, the Italian Police athlete and sports climbing champion who in two years ago won the most important trophy, the World Cup 2005.

This exceptional testimonial is one of Italy's finest, and he will participate togeterh with the young climbers and
their parents in this great vertical game. Flavio Crespi, climbing with future champions, will be joined by the
Mountain Rescue services who have always guaranteed complete safety during the Rock Junior vertical games.
The climbing weekend is made to measure for the children and their families. And just like in the best of games, all can participate, beginners and experts alike, children and their parents. The Rock Junior speaks at least 10 different languages (this year for the first time ever a child has registered from India) and it represents all that combines climbing and fun. And it also represents an ideal link between climbing and the fantastic nature and rocks in Arco which are the cradle of modern sports climbing in Italy.

Rock Junior is a party and also a great theme park to get to know the climbing game. Children will take part in Play & Climb and play on the bouncy castles, suspension bridges and climbing tests which reproduce tree climbing. In the Climbing Campus they will explore Arco's nature and rocks together with the Moutnain Guides. The youngest will compete in the Kid's Rock, while children, mothers and fathers will compete in vertical relay races. And the best European Youth Squads will compete in the Under 14 Cup. This is what the Rock Junior is all about - having fun climbing together.
