The Climbing New Zealand Management Committee has been hard at work throughout the latter half of 2025, and we are pleased to share several key updates with our community.
Our current areas of focus include the upcoming events that will conclude the 2025–26 season, namely Speed Nationals and the Oceania round held at Blake Park in Mt Maunganui, followed by the final event of the season, Lead Nationals to be held in Rotorua, info for both events can be found in our events page.
We are also progressing the development of our new 2026–2030 Strategic Plan, alongside the introduction of our pilot High Performance programmes for Lead and Boulder.
You can view the Strategic Plan, and find details of the High Performance pilot programme on our website, including the application form for coach registration. These resources have also been shared on our Facebook and Instagram pages to help engage the wider community.
Please note that the deadline for application submissions is 16 January 2026.
On behalf of the Climbing New Zealand Committee, we wish you all a safe and enjoyable Christmas and a happy New Year.
