Participate in ICB’s Bouldering Competitions

ICB is your go-to destination for local and regional climbing events in the Pittsburgh region.

We are always working to grow the climbing sport by hosting community comps for our local and regional climbers. At every comp you’ll find a professional setup with world-class routesetting, a diverse group of partners and community collaborators, and, of course, the Funday Friday party vibes.

Whether you’re an avid climber or just starting out, we plan both formal and informal climbing competitions throughout the year.

Formal competitions are meticulously organized, featuring professionally set routes and problems that challenge even the most skilled climbers.

The emphasis is on precision, difficulty, and pushing the boundaries of climbing abilities.

Competing on a broader stage allows participants to measure themselves against the best and gain exposure in the climbing community.
