Taking place on the edge of the Han River in Seoul, the 2018 SPYDER Hangang Climbing Championship tested the abilities of an international selection of the world’s finest climbers. Introducing a wider, taller wall than the previous years, the competition saw climbers attempt to scale the cliff face or fall into the water below. Jan Hojer from Germany triumphed in the men’s category, while 14-year-old newcomer, JiMin Jeong from South Korea won the women’s category.

Watch the video of this year’s escapades above and be sure to check out the action from last year.
