The Gauteng Climbing Boulder Provincials, held on 20 and 21 June 2026 at Bloc 11, Fourways, was a fantastic showcase of the talent, determination, and sportsmanship within our climbing community. This was the first time Gauteng has hosted an event of this nature at the venue, and we look forward to many more. The climbs were incredible, the vibe was epic and athletes brought their A-game!
Over two exciting days of competition, athletes demonstrated exceptional skill and discipline, making for an inspiring event both on and off the wall. A sincere thank you to every climber, supporter, volunteer, judge, and organiser whose dedication and enthusiasm made this competition such a success. Your contribution continues to strengthen and grow the Gauteng Climbing community.
Expression of interest letters have gone out to all athletes selected to compete at Nationals, which will be hosted from 24-27 September 2026. The purpose of Nationals is to select the SA Climbing International Team for 2027, where athletes have the opportunity to compete in World Climbing events in Europe and across the globe. Watch this space for the official Gauteng Climbing Team announcement.
The SA Climbing Nationals will be hosted across venues in Johannesburg and Centurion, showcasing a wide range of what Gauteng has to offer the sport. Since we are only 2 years away from the Summer Olympics 2028, each event is a chance for athletes to prepare to claim a coveted spot on either the Speed, Lead or Boulder South African Olympic Team.
Congratulations to all the competitors, and we look forward to seeing you at the next event!
