Application Process

As set forth in USA Climbing Team Selection Procedures Document Section 1.5, athletes must register their interest in a competition by the relevant registered interest deadline. Such interest is registered by:

(a) registering (their interest) for the competition via this Interest Form;

AND (b) submitting their World Climbing registration information via this Athlete Information Form. Callers and Aides will submit their information using this VI Caller/Aide Information Form .

Interest is registered only if both (a) and (b) are completed by the relevant registered interest deadline, and athletes who do not register such interest by the deadline will not be eligible to receive a World Cup start for this specific event. The list of athletes eligible to register their interest are listed in the World Cup start sheets, linked above, and only such athletes may register their interest. For further information on the competition start registration process, please refer to relevant sections of the USA Climbing Team Selection Procedures Document.

Each athlete is responsible for confirming successful completion of all steps in “registering of interest”. After completion of the Google Form, the athlete will receive an email confirmation within 5 minutes. Any issues should be reported to john@usaclimbing.org immediately.

For any questions related to the registration process, event information, team travel, etc., please contact teastman@usaclimbing.org
