The speed wall is more difficult than you think. Most average climbers would not make it to the top. That also makes it a waste of a lot of wall space in a commercial gym which serves mostly average climbers unfortunately.

Coaches get to stay with athletes in iso until the competition starts, but can't go out and back in again. They are also not allowed to shout any advice while the athletes are climbing.

Exactly that. They have to go into isolation a few hours before the start of the session. Isolation means no internet/bluetooth/outside contact in an area with warm up equipment. They then have 5 minutes to "read" the boulder and climb it.

In the finals it is different and they get a 2 minute shared observation per boulder before they start. But they are still in iso while the others are climbing.

Finally sunny and dry enough to go for a nice long bike ride. Afterwards probably playing Factorio for the rest of the evening/night/morning.

Have fun! And good luck with the health problems. Hopefully the movie will be a nice distraction.
