Laval's Espace Mayenne hosted a European Series lead round in late August 2026, sharing the venue and the week with the Para Series and continental para titles — two competitions, one wall, back-to-back sessions. This gallery covers the lead event from the ground up: warm-up and isolation, the first sight of the route from the mats, the commitment at the crux, high clips and falls, tops, and the finals that decided the standings.
