The 2025 IFSC Climbing World Cup is the 37th edition of the international competition climbing series organised by the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC), held in 14 locations. There are 18 events per gender: six events each in the competition bouldering, competition lead climbing, and competition speed climbing disciplines. The series began on 18 April in Keqiao, Shaoxing with the first bouldering World Cup of the season, and will conclude on 5 September in Koper.

Scheduling

In September 2024, IFSC announced the 2025 competition schedule. This season features the first-ever IFSC World Cup in South America, the Bouldering World Cup in Curitiba in May.[1] The 2025 edition also features the first IFSC World Cup events held in Bali,[2] Denver,[3] and Kraków.[4]

The schedule accommodates the IFSC Climbing World Youth Championships in Helsinki from 28 July to 3 August; the World Games in Chengdu from 7 to 17 August; and the IFSC World Championships in Seoul from 21 to 28 September.

Competition format and ranking

The top three finishers in each individual competition receive medals, and the overall winners are awarded trophies. At the end of the season, an overall ranking is determined based upon points, which athletes are awarded for finishing in the top 40 of each individual event.

Starting with the 2025 edition, each country's federation is limited to a maximum of six athletes per gender per discipline for each event.[5] Previously, athletes ranked in the top 10 by the IFSC in a particular category received invites "by name" and did not count against federation quotas.[6]

IFSC also announced changes to the competition rules. Starting this season, both lead and bouldering feature 24 athletes in the semifinal rounds and 8 in the final rounds; previously, 26 athletes qualified for lead semifinals and 6 athletes qualified for bouldering finals. In addition, boulder finals feature multiple athletes on the wall simultaneously. IFSC also introduced a point system to bouldering, in which athletes are awarded a maximum of 25 points for a top and 10 points for a zone on each problem, with a deduction of 0.1 points for an unsuccessful attempt.[7]

Athlete absences

Following the 2024 Paris Olympics, several athletes announced they would sit out the season or make limited appearances. Women's gold medalist Janja Garnbret announced she would only attend two World Cups and the IFSC World Championships this year and spend more time climbing outdoors, while silver medalist Brooke Raboutou said she was similarly taking a break to focus on outdoor climbing and Oriane Bertone said she would not appear until late in the season.[8] Former women's bouldering champion Natalia Grossman announced she had torn her ACL and meniscus and fellow Olympian Jenya Kazbekova announced she was pregnant.[9]

Staša Gejo announced her retirement, while Adam Ondra, Alexander Megos,[8] and Yannick Flohé said they would step back from bouldering to focus on lead.[10]

Competition highlights

In the second World Cup event at Wujiang on 27 April, Great Britain's Erin McNeice and South Korea's Chaehyun Seo shared the women's lead gold medal after they scored 41 in the final round, tied each other in the semifinal and qualifying rounds, and were both timed at 4 minutes 26 seconds. It was the first time multiple climbers shared the gold medal since the 2011 Chamonix World Cup.[11]

In an unprecedented first in men's bouldering, Japan's Sorato Anraku won the bouldering World Cups in Keqiao, Curitiba and Salt Lake City, becoming the only male climber to win 3 successive bouldering World Cups in the same season.[12]
