About

We’re a local Auckland club with a big reach, supporting climbers who want to compete at both national and international levels. Whether you're just starting out or chasing a spot on the world stage, we're here to back you.

What We’re About

Auckland Sport Climbing exists to:

Grow the sport by running fun, inclusive events like the Auckland College Climbing Series.
Support climbers with logistics and admin for national and international competitions.
Develop the next generation of talent through our youth development efforts.
Create a space where everyone—any age, any level—is welcome to give climbing a go.

We’re affiliated with Climbing New Zealand (CNZ), which means our members are eligible for selection into CNZ development squads and national teams.

We’re a not-for-profit run entirely by passionate volunteers. Our committee handles everything from competition planning to community outreach.
