First photos of the Paris 2024 Olympic Climbing Walls

The Paris 2024 Olympic Games are just over two months away and yesterday the Climbing venue was revealed and presented officially to the press at Le Bourget. The facility is being built specifically for Paris 2024 and the four outdoor walls – three for competition, one for warm-up – will be redeployed at the end of the Games, benefiting local associations and communities. It goes without saying that the walls are stunning, as can be seen from these photos taken by official IFSC photographer Jan Virt.
