Hilti collaboration with Red Bull for Dual Ascent challenge

Hilti collaborated with Red Bull for their 2022 Dual Ascent challenge, providing the tools to install the climbing routes for some of the very best climbers at a truly stunning location.

Taking place at Verzasca Dam in Switzerland, the Red Bull Dual Ascent is a man-made solution to outdoor climbing competitions, which are often difficult to organize due to real-world conditions and variables with the route, logistics, and impact on the environment.

Standing at 220m high, the jaw-droppingly impressive Verzasca Dam allowed competitors to climb to heights of 180m, around 3x as high as standard climbing walls at indoor gyms.

This was the first-ever head-to-head multi-pitch climbing competition on identical, artificial routes, and 16 of the world’s top climbers have been invited to participate, competing in teams of two, over three days.

The installation of the routes required drilling more than 11000 holes to fasten the handholds, footholds and protection points for the climbers. Various tools from Hilti’s newly launched Nuron range were used, including:

Nuron SF 6-22 cordless drill drivers

Nuron TE 6-22 cordless rotary hammers

Nuron SID 6-22 cordless impact drivers

TE-CX (SDS Plus) hammer drill bits
