LA LÍNEA VERTICAL will sponsor Espeleosocorro Sin Fronteras, the Andalusian vertical rope rescue competition team, in 2023.
This team is made up of specialists in vertical rope rescue who, in a collaborative, altruistic and voluntary spirit, make themselves available to professional bodies to actively collaborate in rescues.
The competition team was formed in 2015 and has since participated in seven international championships, winning six of them. It is the only team in the world with such a splendid record.
For this year 2023, they intend to participate in the most important events in the world, such as the 16th edition of Grimpday, which will be held from 24th to 27th May in Marseille (France), and Grimp Japan 2023, which will take place from 17th to 19th March in Miki-Shi, Hyogo (Japan). Grimpday is the World Rescue Championship, which will bring together 24 top-level teams, with Espeleosocorro Sin Fronteras being the only Spanish team participating in this edition. Grimp Japan is one of the two most important international championships on the Asian continent and one of the most important in the world. It will be the first participation of the Andalusian team in this event and the first Spanish team to take part in it.
The objectives of Espeleosocorro Sin Fronteras go beyond participation in championships. As well as continuing with technical training and preparation, which is essential to face the difficulties involved in deep rescues, they aim to break down barriers by making caving more accessible to society in general and especially to people with different abilities.
At LA LÍNEA VERTICAL we are committed to sport, to the effort and tenacity of the people who organise and carry out this project, as we feel very close to the values they transmit, such as self-improvement and teamwork, as well as the professionalism, safety and constant training they require. This is the case of the Andalusian vertical rope rescue competition team Espeleosocorro Sin Fronteras, to whom we give our full support and wish them luck for the next competitions.
