Cover Story: This paper addresses the understudied issue of fire impacts on sport climbing areas, particularly susceptible to be affected by forest fires, especially in the Mediterranean climate. Fire impacts on climbing areas may include hazards for climbers, economic loss to the industry around this sport, and damage to iconic climbing routes that may be considered cultural heritage. Non-destructive techniques were used in this paper to assess the damage of rock surfaces because of fires in two climbing areas in Spain. The results showed mechanical weathering, such as cracking, spalling, granular disaggregation, and thermochemical weathering with different temperature thresholds. Observed thermochemical reactions included reddening, CaCO3 calcination, and quartz cracking, involving a major rock outcrop transformation and an acceleration of fire-induced weathering processes.
