Speed climbing is a climbing discipline in which speed is the ultimate goal. [1] Speed climbing is done on rocks, walls and poles and is only recommended for highly skilled and experienced climbers. [2] Competition speed climbing, which takes place on an artificial and standardized climbing wall, is the main form of speed climbing.
In aeronautics, the rate of climb (RoC) is an aircraft's vertical speed, that is the positive or negative rate of altitude change with respect to time. [1] In most ICAO member countries, even in otherwise metric countries, this is usually expressed in feet per minute (ft/min); elsewhere, it is commonly expressed in metres per second (m/s).
