Singapore first in Asia to host World Youth Climbing Championships: information, programme, links.

Singapore will, for the first time, host the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) World Youth Championships from 29th August to 1st September at Siloso Beach. The competition has attracted a record number of 540 competitors from 46 countries.

 

Organised jointly by the IFSC and the Singapore Mountaineering Federation (SMF), this year’s Championship is especially significant as it is set against the backdrop of an upcoming bid in 2013 for Sport Climbing to be included in the Olympic Games in 2020.
