The Paraclimbing National Championships return for 2025 and will be hosted at Touchstone Pacific Pipe in Oakland, CA, March 1-2. The top three (3) ranked athletes per gender in each category will go on to represent the U.S. as a part of the Paraclimbing National Team, with the chance to compete in IFSC Paraclimbing World Cups.

“We’re over the moon about hosting Paraclimbing Nationals at our flagship facility, Pacific Pipe, in Oakland,” said Ryan Moon, Events Coordinator + Programs Director of Touchstone Climbing. “We’re so thankful for the optimistic and refreshing energy the paraclimbing community brings to our gyms throughout the year so it’s extra special to have the opportunity to host such a monumental event on our home turf.”

This will be the first Paraclimbing National Championships since the International Paralympic Committee’s Governing Board approved the addition of Paraclimbing to the Paralympic Sport Program for the LA28 Games, and is sure to bring fierce competition as the sport embraces its first-ever Paralympic cycle.

Athlete registration will open on Monday, November 18. All event resources will become available on the Paraclimbing National Championships landing page.
