The USA Climbing National Team Trials presented by YETI return for 2025 and will be hosted at Mesa Rim in Austin, TX, March 12-16. It’s the second and final National Team selection event for the Elite series, where the country’s top climbers will be competing for inclusion on the 2025 National Team. Those National Team athletes will join the International Federation of Sport Climbing’s World Cup circuit, representing the U.S. around the world in 2025.

“We’re looking forward to being back in Austin,” said John Muse, VP of Sport at USA Climbing. “Mesa Rim was a fantastic host for this event in 2023. The upcoming National Team Trials are sure to welcome fierce competition and even bigger crowds.”

“Mesa Rim is ecstatic to be teaming up with USA Climbing to bring the National Team Trials back to Austin,” said Aaron Kerkvliet, Site Manager at Mesa Rim Austin. “We are excited to showcase our world class competition walls and provide the stage for these athletes to compete at the highest level.”

Boulder, Lead, and Speed will all be on display at the event, with each discipline offering its own National Team quota.

Athlete registration will open on Wednesday, January 8. All event resources, including spectator tickets, will become available on the National Team Trials event page.
