LA28 TO HOST PARA CLIMBING EVENTS AT CONVENTION CENTER LOT IN LONG BEACH

The striking coastal venue will stage Para Climbing’s historic debut at the Paralympic Games.

The IFSC welcomes the announcement from the Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Los Angeles 2028 (LA28) that Para Climbing events will take place at the Convention Center Lot in Long Beach, California.

The venue, located along the Southern California coastline, will also host Climbing at the Olympic Games earlier that Summer, providing a consistent and iconic setting for both Olympic and Paralympic competitions.

Para Climbing events in Long Beach will be held alongside Para Swimming, which will take place in a temporary outdoor aquatics centre in the same area. Both sports will be framed by ocean views which will bring energy and a striking natural backdrop to these action-packed competitions held in the 2028 Venue City of Long Beach.

The Convention Center Lot in Long Beach will will serve as a fully accessible venue for the 80 athletes and eight Para Climbing medal events that have been recently confirmed in the programme of the LA28 Paralympics:

  • Visually impaired: women’s B2 and men’s B1
  • Upper limb deficiency: women’s and men’s AU2
  • Lower limb deficiency: women’s and men’s AL2
  • Range and power: women’s and men’s RP1

News and updates about all Para Climbing events will be available on the IFSC website and on the Federation’s digital channels: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, TikTok, X, YouTube, and exclusively for the Chinese audience, Douyin, Weibo, and Xiaohongshu.
