Sport Climbing Australia | Indoor Climbing in Ballarat

Sport Climbing Australia is the sole peak body for climbing in Australia and a member of the International Federation of Sport Climbing. Sport Climbing Australia's mission is to promote, develop and grow sport climbing for the enjoyment of all.

In recent years, climbing has become a truly popular sport, mostly because of numerous climbing gyms: more and more athletes are attracted by vertical challenges, both indoor and outdoor, and the trend continues. All this for a very good reason: climbing is a complex mind challenging sport which trains most of our 656 muscles.

A large worldwide climbing community

25 million people are climbing regularly
They are part of the 250 million outdoor enthusiasts
Popularity in largest cities (300+ indoor climbing walls in London / 350+ in Paris Ile-de-France)
Climbing gyms from 2007 to 2012 have increased by 50%.

A community with a unique profile

IFSC members come from both mountain/rural and urban areas
Climbers are young (39% under 18) but practice until 60 years or more
The share of female climbers is very high. Membership of the IFSC is 7% higher for females than other International Governing Bodies.
Sport Climbing will likely grow even faster with its inclusion as a full medal event at the Olympic Games
