Why does the sentence start with la in la tracciatura?

Because tracciatura is a feminine singular noun, so it takes the feminine singular definite article la.

In Italian, it is very common to use the definite article where English might not. So la tracciatura can mean the route-setting / the setting / the layout in a specific context, or the activity/process being discussed.

So:

• la tracciatura = the route-setting / the setting
• una tracciatura = a route-setting / a setting

What does tracciatura mean here?

Tracciatura comes from the verb tracciare, which means to trace, to lay out, or to set up.

In a climbing context, tracciatura usually refers to the setting or layout of a route or problem. So here it means something like:

• the route-setting
• the setting of the bouldering problem
• the layout/design of the bouldering climb

It is a specialized word, and in sports contexts it often refers to how something is marked out or designed.
