CWA Summit 2026 – Salt Lake City, UT

15 –17 April

The Climbing Wall Association Summit remains one of the most important annual gatherings for the North American climbing industry, and we’re proud to participate each year alongside our EP USA team.

At the 2026 Summit, we will present several initiatives designed to support modern climbing gyms and community engagement:

  • Titan World League – a gym-based climbing challenge format designed to help facilities run recurring competitions that keep members engaged and bring the local climbing community together.

  • The Heritage Range – a new competition hold series inspired by EP’s original shapes and updated with modern materials and textures for today’s route setting.

  • EP as a Lifecycle Partner – beyond building climbing walls, EP supports facilities through their entire lifespan, including design, engineering, installation, inspections, and long-term maintenance.

As climbing gyms continue to evolve into community hubs, the need for long-term strategic partners has never been greater. At EP, our goal is not only to build climbing walls but to support facilities for decades to come.

21 – 23 April

We’ll be back at Mountain Planet, one of the leading international gatherings for mountain professionals and resort operators.

This year, our focus will be on XP Boulders, EP’s outdoor climbing solution designed specifically for demanding environments.

XP Boulders provide:

  • Exceptional resistance to weather and outdoor conditions

  • A true four-season activity for mountain destinations

  • A way for mountain resorts to diversify activities and attract visitors year-round

As mountain resorts adapt to climate challenges and changing visitor expectations, year-round activities are becoming more important than ever.

XP Boulders create engaging climbing spaces that add value to mountain destinations while maintaining durability and a low environmental impact.
