Climbing accidents in Germany 2020, by sport

In 2020, a total of 78 climbing accidents were recorded in Germany. Alpine climbing resulted in the greatest number of accidents during this period. Alpine climbing takes place in alpine terrain. It's not so much about reaching a specific peak, but rather looking for the "line" of a ridge, pillar or through a large wall. Sport climbing shortly followed with 24 accidents associated with this climbing discipline. Sport climbing differs from Alpine climbing in that the protection is offered by pre-placed in-situ bolts to which the individuals personal equipment can be placed. Alpine climbing on the other hand usually requires traditional climbing equipment to be placed to which the rope is then attached. Artificial wall climbing, as the name suggests utilizes an artificial climbing wall and as many of the climbing walls across Germany were episodically closed throughout this period due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) containment measures, the number of accidents that were recorded during this period is likely to be considerably lower than that of a normal year.

2020年，德国共记录了78起登山事故。在此期间，阿尔卑斯登山导致了最多的意外事件。阿尔卑斯登山在阿尔卑斯山地形中进行，其目的并非单纯追求攀登某一特定高峰，而是寻求山脊、峭壁或大型墙体上的‘线路’。紧随其后的是运动登山，与该登山项目相关的意外事件共有24起。运动登山与阿尔卑斯登山的不同之处在于，其保护措施依赖于预先放置的固定螺栓，个人装备可固定于其上。而阿尔卑斯登山通常需要放置传统的登山设备，随后将绳索连接。人工岩壁攀登，顾名思义，利用的是人工岩壁，鉴于德国大部分岩壁在此期间因新冠疫情（COVID-19）的防控措施而间歇性地关闭，因此在此期间记录的事故数量可能显著低于往年水平。
