Medium GrooveSquid.com (original content) Medium Difficulty Summary
In a groundbreaking study, researchers leveraged data from professional bouldering competitions to develop a logistic regression model capable of predicting climber results and measuring individual skill levels. The model’s limitations are addressed by introducing a more comprehensive approach that accounts for the complexities of climbers’ strengths and weaknesses in different boulder problems.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
Professional bouldering competitors can be analyzed using data from 2008 to 2022. A simple math formula helps predict how well each climber will do. However, this method has its limits because it can’t fully capture the unique skills of each climber.
