<TimelineItem title="The beginning of norm-speed" date="2005-2007">
<P>
Before 2005, speedclimbing competitions took place on a different wall every time. This made
it very hard to compare the results of different competitions. Therefore, the Idea of a
"norm" wall was introduced. This first norm wall shared most of the properties of the
current wall. It was the same height and even the holds were the same. However, <a
href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCKMtxxGwIA">the route itself was very different</a
>. <br /><br />
This first idea proved to be impractical, as the route was too hard for most climbers. Therefore,
a second version was introduced in 2007, which hasn't changed much since then.
<br /><br />
Both of those walls were created by the famous route setter Jacky Godoffe.
