IFSC Bouldering World Cup

The world's best sport climbers are coming to Salt Lake City in May 2025! Each year the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) hosts a World Cup where athletes compete in various indoor-style rock climbing challenges. This year, Salt Lake City will host one of the bouldering competitions in May 2025.

Bouldering is considered by some to be one of the purest forms of climbing, where no harness, rope, or other equipment is used. It's just you and your skill versus the wall.

Ticket are available from USA Climbing through EventBrite. Remember: You must purchase your own tickets to attend! Each day requires a separate ticket.

Update: The event schedule has been posted! Here is a summary:
Friday, May 23:

• 9:00am Women's Qualification
• 3:30pm Men's Qualification

Saturday, May 24:

• 10:00am Women's Semi-Final
• 5:00pm Women's Final

Sunday, May 25:

• 10:00am Men's Semi-Final
• 5:00pm Men's Boulder Final

Doors open one hour prior to each event. Plan on being in line at the ticket booth when the doors open. Last year this was a sold-out event and the grandstands filled up quickly. We'll try to stick together as best we can and sit together if possible.

There's a few hours between events. We may decide to fill that time with nearby activities. Two climbing gyms are close by: The Bouldering Project and The Front. There are also several restaurants and breweries within walking distance.
