Pro Climbing League – FAQs

  • The Pro Climbing League is a new professional competition built around a head-to-head bouldering format. Two climbers compete side by side on identical problems, with clear winners in every round and a knockout structure that builds towards a final.

    • Athletes are paired head-to-head.

    • Climbers tackle identical boulders.

    • One climber advances from each pairing.

    • Rounds continue until a final winner is decided.

    The format is designed to be easier to follow and more immediately compelling than traditional single climber formats.
