One thing happening in the world of Climbing today, written for an enthusiast — not a beginner. Skip celebrity gossip. Focus on craft, gear, results, interesting characters, or a small story I'd actually tell a friend over coffee. Quality over quantity.

Mixed Relay Breakthrough
Indonesia just claimed its first World Series mixed relay gold.
Raji'ah Sallsabillah and Raharjati Nursamsa outran China's Ziyu Zhou and Mengli Zhang, with the USA team rounding out the podium [Quelle: World Climbing]. Following Al Hilmi's individual speed victory yesterday, this relay win deepens Indonesia's foothold at Guiyang. The nation is no longer a speed footnote.
Watch whether Jakarta's climb continues through October.
HIIT Training Meets Kilter
Seattle just built a climbing training format that bridges the gym and the cardio floor.
A local gym is running coach-led HIIT classes that blend Kilter Board sessions, strength work, and cardiovascular intervals—the kind of structured conditioning that usually lives outside climbing spaces [Quelle: Climbing Magazine]. The format treats training ruts as a system problem rather than a motivation problem. Boards plus power work plus tempo creates adaptability most climbers chase solo.
Expect other gyms to steal this template.
Canada Recruits for Nations Finale
Canada needs a volunteer National Team Coach for November's Nations Grand Finale.
The federation is recruiting to guide four climbers—two men, two women—through boulder and lead disciplines at Iizuka's team competition on November 7–8, with applications closing September 18 [Quelle: Sport Climbing BC]. This role demands live strategic thinking: coaches assign athletes to problems and routes in real time based on opponent moves and team strength. The Nations Finale stays one of climbing's most under-watched formats because the coaching layer remains invisible to viewers.
Team tactics are climbing's last frontier.
