Selection criteria for World Climbing competitions 2025/26

Version March 2025

General remarks

The participation of athletes in national and international competitions is an important goal of Liechtenstein Climbing. However, participation in international competitions only makes sense if the athlete is competitive. To this end, Liechtenstein Climbing issues selection criteria that require a minimum performance level for participation in international competitions and championships. No selection criteria apply to national competitions such as Swiss Cups.
