Climbing in general is becoming an increasingly popular sport thanks to artificial walls. In the Czech Republic there is a large representation of traditional sandstone areas. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare and find the difference in performance of selected parameters between climbing on artificial walls and in traditional sandstone areas. The data collection was carried out using a questionnaire sent out on Facebook. A total of 160 respondents completed the survey with an age distribution between 23 and 39 years. The extended IRCRA classification, Pearson's correlation was used to evaluate the performance, followed by the test to exclude zero correlation, mean of differences, standard deviation, coefficient of variation. The correlation and difference of maximum and comfort red pointe top rope performances on artificial wall versus performances in traditional sandstone areas were evaluated. A strong correlation was confirmed for both maximum and comfort red point climbs with a difference of at least 3 IRCRA grades, with higher difficulties achieved by climbers on the artificial wall. In top rope, a moderate relationship was confirmed with a difference of at least 2 degrees, where higher difficulties were achieved by climbers on the artificial wall.
