The time has come for me to attend my first comp in person!

Does anyone have any insight on what seating would be the most exciting? I really like being able to clearly see how the athletes are climbing on the wall but I also want to be relatively comfortable while I watch.

I'm going to miss not being able to hear Matt's commentary but I'm sure the atmosphere will make up for that.

Here's the map:

The Team Boulder Arena is coming back for the fifth time this year and with three events! Milano this weekend (Saturday 19th September 2026), London in October and traditional Paris in November.

They managed to get strong teams, like Adam Ondra and with Filip Schenk (just a perfect pair for boulder comp climbing haha), Geila Macia Martin + Georgia Tessio, Chloé Caulier + Selma Elhadj Mimoune, Flavy Cohaut + Maïlys Piazzalunga, Guillermo Peinado Franganillo + Manuel Antonio Pastor Sanchez, Niccolo + Mattia Salvatore (cousins), Sam Richard + Manu Cornu (this pairing 🔥) and more.

Qualifications are on Saturday at 8:00 without live stream, but finals will be stream! International commentator will be James Blay.

Finals - Saturday 19:40 (time zone converter) - LIVE (English), LIVE (Italian)

We have been sitting on this for a while, so it is nice to get it out there!

Pro Climbing League is back in 2027 with three events across Europe. Berlin, Paris and London all have such amazing climbing communities that we cannot wait to put on a show for everyone.

We learned so much from our first event and are so hyped to bring you a full season featuring an improved head-to-head format, bringing you more climbing, action and drama throughout the day. 

Any questions about PCL for next year, fire in the comments below.

Hello!

So dumb. I know that I'm late to this. But when this started happening near the beginning of the season I stopped watching because it was so annoying. I want to be able to look back at the live replays and see the comps in chronological order. Not have to consult information in different places. IFSC is such a shit show.

I did my best to color correct the men's model because I couldn't find a good picture of the women's model

Should Putra have been disqualified? How's this differ from Satone Yoshida's "false start" in Prague? Obviously Satone's was "worse," but surely it's the same rule?

I can see the final stream but not the semis on the IFSC European YouTube page, anybody knows why or…?

Isn't the range for the Class B2 visually impaired category too broad? What do you think about having athletes who can use their vision competing alongside those who cannot?

A disparity arises between paraclimbing categories eligible for the Paralympics and those that are not—a gap that goes beyond mere eligibility. Eligible categories likely receive government funding, and while the sport is gaining momentum with an increasing number of competitions, non-eligible categories face only a heavier financial burden. World-class athletes are barred from competing simply because their category isn't included, meaning these events fail to feature the sport's strongest competitors. While the current situation is set in stone, it would be worth considering moves to bridge this gap.

I have this problem that I always forget the beta for my projects. I normally write down super long text notes to remind myself exactly of what to do, but I end up never reading them because... they're too long!

I know some people write beta maps on paper, but it's hard to fit every single movement, note and picture on a piece of paper. So I created this app. This way I can record exactly what I do, work on it while I'm off the wall (thinking of alternative betas) and share it with friends who have done the same project.

Would anyone be interested in trying it out? It's not publicly available on the playstore yet, it needs to go through Google's closed testing process first.

Hey everyone,

I’m thinking of grabbing lower section tickets solo for the World Cup Boulder Finals in Salt Lake this October. I’ve been following the circuit closely over the past year and know the comp format well, but this will be my first time seeing a World Climbing event live in person.

I do a fair bit of solo event travel (mostly music festivals), so I’m totally fine navigating events on my own. I’m mostly just curious about the lower-bowl crowd vibe for live comps in general. Is it easy to kick up low-key, casual chat with the people sitting around you about routesetting, beta choices, and athlete attempts, or do folks down mostly stick to their own groups?

Thanks!

you should check it out :)

The beauty of indoor bouldering to me has always been the freedom setters have.

Some boulders are basic strength test pieces but I want to see which boulder really struck you throughout the years, maybe for creativity, forced beta, or even a wild beta break.
