EP Climbing, a global leader in climbing wall and hold innovation, is excited to announce the continuation of its long-standing partnership with the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC), for 2025 - 2028, marking an impressive 22 years of collaboration. Since the IFSC’s creation in 2007, EP Climbing has been at the forefront of competitive climbing, providing high-quality walls, holds, and climbing solutions.
IFSC President Marco Scolaris commented: “Since 2007, EP has been by our side every step of the way, contributing significantly to the success of our competitions, including the most prestigious stage, such as the Olympic Games. This renewal not only confirms our strong relationship, but also represents our shared commitment to looking ahead and continuing to grow our sport on a global scale.”
As the official wall supplier for the IFSC, EP Climbing brings decades of expertise and forward-thinking products to climbing competitions worldwide. Most recently, EP Climbing played a key role as the Official Wall Supplier for the Olympic Games Paris 2024, an event where the company’s craftsmanship and products helped showcase the sport’s growth and dynamic potential. Looking forward, EP Climbing is committed to supporting the IFSC through the upcoming competition seasons and beyond, with eyes set on a third Olympic appearance at the LA28 Games -- where we will also see Para climbing’s Olympic debut.
"We’re excited to enter another four-year-cycle, continuing to support climbing with our products and commitment to the global climbing community.”

EP Climbing walls have been the stage for some of the most impressive feats in speed climbing history. Both the women's and men's world records were shattered during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, continuing a legacy of record-breaking performances previously set at World Cups in Chamonix, Villars, and Salt Lake City, among others.
Women's Record: Aleksandra Mirosław - 6.06 secondsMen's Record: Samuel Watson - 4.74 seconds
These remarkable achievements highlight the precision engineering and world-class design of EP Climbing walls, making them the preferred choice for top-tier competitive climbing.
Key to this partnership are EP’s industry-leading products, including The TITAN, the first standardized competition wall developed in collaboration with IFSC route setters, and already present in more than 15 places worldwide. Its breakthrough shape is designed to offer maximum range for route setting, provide the best viewing angles, and meet the needs of international competitors and amateur climbers alike.
EP Climbing remains dedicated to providing climbers with the tools to excel, inspiring the next generation of climbers everywhere.
The International Federation of Sport Climbing is the international governing body of Sport Climbing. It was founded on 27 January 2007 as a continuation of the International Council for Competition Climbing, created 10 years earlier, in 1997. As a non-profit organisation, the objectives of the IFSC are the direction, regulation, promotion, and development of Sport Climbing competitions worldwide.
On 25 April 2021, the XVII IFSC General Assembly elected the current Executive Board: IFSC President Marco Scolaris, IFSC Vice President Kobinata Toru, IFSC Vice President Wolfgang Wabel, IFSC Secretary General Debra Gawrych, and IFSC Treasurer Pierre You; the Executive Board of the IFSC also includes representatives of the five IFSC Continental Councils, and the President and Vice President of the IFSC Athletes' Commission.
After its first appearance at Tokyo 2020, Sport Climbing successfully returned to the Olympic stage at Paris 2024, where 68 athletes from 22 nations competed in six sold-out days of Climbing action. In February 2022, the International Olympic Committee approved the inclusion of Sport Climbing in the initial program of the Olympic Games LA28, while in June 2024 the International Paralympic Committee ratified the inclusion of Para Climbing in the Paralympic Games LA28. In 2018, two Sport Climbing medal events were presented at the Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018.
