2025-2026 National Championship

March 20-22, 2026 

The 2nd Annual ASCL National Championship will be held as the final event of the 2025-2026 season. This event will showcase elite climbers from the ASCL on Saturday as well as provide an opportunity for non-elite climbers to challenge their skills and stamina against the National Invitational routes on Sunday.

Have You Auto-Qualified for the Elite Wave???

Climbers who have earned an auto-qualification to the Elite Wave were emailed registration information on March 1st, 2026. Those climbers will have until Sunday March 8th, 2026 to register with Eagle Climbing + Fitness to claim their Elite Wave spot. Remaining Elite Wave spots will be offered to the next block of climbers in the National Qualification Rankings and will be filled on a “first come, first served” basis until the event has reached capacity. Keep an eye on your inbox for your invitation!

Belay Certifications and Lead Climbing Certification for Coaches and Athletes:

  • ECF will honor a certification card from another gym for the ASCL comp waves ONLY. This will not be honored for personal climbing outside of the ASCL sponsored comp waves.
  • If you have a zip tie on your harness from a gym, you must present an email from your gym with verification of your certification to ECF. This will not be honored for personal climbing outside of the ASCL sponsored comp waves.
