The Climb2020 Campaign
Sport Climbing and the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games

Welcome to ‘Climb2020’. On the 28th September 2015, as part of the additional games program, the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee shortlisted sport climbing along with four other sports for possible inclusion in the 2020 Olympic Games. In August 2016, the 130 members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will vote to decide which of the five sports will be included.

This is a great opportunity for sport climbing and in association with the British Mountaineering Council (BMC), the Climb2020 campaign aims to raise greater awareness of the sport and unite climbing communities across the UK in support of this Olympic proposal. Over the coming months, the climb2020 web site will serve as both a hub where all the latest information will be published and a place where you can share your thoughts on the subject and register your support.

So, take a minute, register and see how you can get involved in support of this great opportunity!
