Speed Climbing Selection Standards

Climbing New Zealand Speed Climbing selection standards:

These standards are limited to Open, Junior, U19 and U17 categories.

CategoryMaleFemale
Open≤ 10.000s≤ 13.000s
Junior≤ 11.000s≤ 14.000s
U19≤ 12.000s≤ 15.000s
U17≤ 12.000s≤ 15.000s

U19 and Junior athletes can qualify a time for their age group while competing in the Open category.

For the sake of clarity there is no speed qualification for U15 and U13 as these grades climb on the Pacific K route and this has no international relevance at this stage.

These standards sit alongside the CNZ Selection Policy. Questions go to selection@climbing.nz
