International speed climbing competition in Chongqing over three days, featuring speed qualifications, finals, mixed relay and relay events.
The programme is speed climbing throughout, with a different format each day. On 18 September, individual speed qualifications are listed at 10:15 and the finals at 19:30. On 19 September, mixed relay qualifications are at 11:10 and the mixed relay finals at 19:30. On 20 September, relay qualifications are at 11:00 and the relay finals at 20:00. The published schedule does not state which time zone these refer to, and gives no session durations.
This is the part the event page does not answer. There is no ticket price, no on-sale date and no link to a ticketing platform. Whether any sessions are open to the general public, and whether spectators need to register in advance, has not been announced. Nor is there any statement on the practical questions that matter to a foreign visitor: whether booking requires a WeChat account, a mainland Chinese mobile number or real-name identity verification, and whether overseas passport holders can buy admission at all. None of this is addressed either way, so treat it as unpublished rather than as a yes or a no, and check the official event page closer to the date.
The event page lists the location only as Chongqing, China. The competition venue section carries no venue name, address or map, and no transport guidance is given. If you are planning travel around this, note that you currently cannot tell which part of the city it will be held in.
All of the above is taken from the official event page at worldclimbing.com. Details on that page, including the schedule, may be revised before September.
This entry was compiled automatically from the organiser's own page and every date in it was checked back against that page before publishing. Nobody from our team has been to this one, and we have not called the organisers — where they have not published something, this page says so rather than filling the gap.
Status: No Chinese name given in source. Region not stated in text; 'Chongqing' is a municipality, filled from the city name itself. Venue section lists only 'Location: Chongqing, China' with no venue name. Organizer inferred from site branding/footer (World Climbing / ifsc-climbing.org), not from an explicit organizer statement. No ticketing, pricing or registration information in the text, so access set to tbc. The organiser's page gives a start date but no end date; shown here as a single day rather than guessing when it closes.
