Climbing New Zealand (CNZ) advises that the appeals window for the provisional Lead Development Squad has now closed.
Any received appeals will be processed by the selection committee according to the Selection policy. Once that process is complete, the final Development Squad will be announced on the CNZ website.
Once the squad is confirmed, CNZ will seek Expressions of Interest (EOI) from eligible athletes for the upcoming international events. Selected athletes will be contacted directly with EOI details and deadlines.
