This work is an example of the informative power of T-patterns -regular and temporal structures of obtained behaviours by the software Theme, version 6.0- and the application for first time, in the strategic and technical knowledge of sport that has been little studied such as sport climbing. Within observational methodology it has been built ad hoc observational instrument Sport Climbing Observation Tool (SCOT) that has detected T-patterns that reflect the behaviour developed in the route ascent - hold, hand, hand contact time, quickdrawing, chalk and rest- for the best climbers -Lead modality- who participated in the 2011 World Championship, held in Arco (Italy). By the information obtain with T-patterns, the ascension was marked in sections (initial, middle and end), describing the manner in which the best climbers in the world complete the ascent of the route.
