Salt Lake City is hosting two IFSC World Cups in May, the Para Climbing World Cup from May 20-21 and the Boulder World Cup from May 23-25! The events will welcome the world’s best competition climbers, including current and hopeful Olympians. Tickets are now on sale for the two World Cups, which have sold out in years past.

The Para Climbing World Cup will be hosted at Momentum Indoor Climbing Fort Union from May 20-21. It will be the first competition of the IFSC Para Climbing season 2025, which also kicks off the four-year cycle leading up to the Paralympic Games LA28. Salt Lake City has hosted the last three US stops of the IFSC Para Climbing World Cups and, during that time, the number of registered athletes has grown by 157%.

“The Salt Lake City World Cup is an opportunity for athletes to redefine their style and set a good pace for how they will perform the rest of the season,” said Ben Mayforth, a Salt Lake City local who took home a silver medal in the Men’s RP2 category at last year’s World Cup. “For spectators, it’s an opportunity to see how huge of a lifestyle sport climbing is and how both para climbers and able-bodied climbers are pushing themselves!”

Tickets can be found on the USA Climbing Eventbrite. The IFSC Para Climbing World Cup Salt Lake City 2025 will also stream live (or on-demand at any time after the event) on the IFSC YouTube Channel.

The Boulder World Cup will return to USA Climbing’s own National Training Center in downtown Salt Lake City. The Boulder discipline is notorious for showcasing some of the most creative, dynamic, and challenging movements in the sport and this year’s event is sure to deliver. In 2024, 191 athletes from around the world competed in Salt Lake City, where Salt Lake City local Natalia Grossman won gold in the Women’s Boulder Final, backed by the cheers of a sold out venue.

“I always love the World Cup in Salt Lake City,” said Grossman following that win. “The crowd hypes us up!”
