  • Created by climbers, for climbers, the Pro Climbing League brings together the world’s strongest boulderers for a new level of connection and competition. Join us for the next move in our sport with a tournament that’s fast-paced, fair, and built to match the power of the community.

  • A new kind of competition format that pits climbers against each other—not just the wall. Climbing on identical boulders, side by side, this style of competition is fast, clear, and easy to follow. The competitions are organised into a simple three-round tournament where only one athlete moves on from each round.

  • The climbing industry is growing rapidly and in many directions. We want to use this momentum to better support athletes, climbers, and fans. We believe climbing is more than a sport, and that climbing competition should be more than a spectacle. Our new format puts the pressure back into climbing competition, and offers viewers an exciting and easy-to-follow tournament.

  • Sixteen climbers (eight men and eight women) compete head-to-head in pairs across three rounds (Qualifying, Semi Final, and Final). Each boulder has a 4+ minute time limit (climbers can finish an attempt if they leave the ground within the 4 minute time limit).


    Round One (Qualifying)


    The pairs compete head-to-head on three boulders in the first round, and the winner is the climber who “tops” the most boulders. If both climbers top, the winner is the climber who tops first. If neither of them top a boulder, the winner is the climber who controlled the highest hold. If they’re still tied, the climber who reached the highest point first wins.


    Round Two (Semi Final)


    The four winners from the pairs in round one progress to round two, and compete on a single boulder with the same rules/scoring as round one.


    Round Three (Finals)


    The four climbers then compete for the podium on two separate boulders with the same rules/scoring as in round two.
