By screening relevant literature and analyzing competition performances of Climbing World Championship and World Cup, the results show that: (1) the world competitive pattern, the development trend and the structure of individual performance for combined climbing event show unbalanced characteristics; (2) the origin and development of rock climbing, competition rules, and individual strength characteristics are the main reasons to form the unbalanced characteristics of combined climbing event; (3) the overall competitive strength of China’ sport climbing has been steadily improved in recent years, but there are still many aspects need to be boosted comparing with the world top level. Suggestions are as follows: on the macro strategy, efforts should be made to break the present competitive condition and strengthen the foundation of sport climbing development. On the training strategy, we should on the one hand attach importance to comprehensive development which is based on improving lead and boulder strength, and on the other hand realize the further breakthrough of boulder while consolidating the advantages of speed climbing.
