“The inclusion of climbing in the Olympics brought a lot of good things,” explains Yuji Hirayama, a climbing legend and owner of Base Camp climbing gyms. “People started to see climbers on TV and in advertisements, which brought many new customers.”
Hirayama has won the climbing World Cup twice in 1998 and 2000 and is widely regarded as the greatest Japanese climber of all time. “In the 80s, when I started climbing, there were no gyms. I had to train on castle walls,” he laughs.

IFSC TO MARK INTERNATIONAL WOMEN S DAY WITH WOMEN OF THE WALL VIRTUAL ROUNDTABLE EVENT 03/08/21
International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) Secretary General Debra Gawrych will lead a virtual roundtable event with a selection of female representatives currently occupying prominent positions in the Sport Climbing world.
The roundtable, which will be streamed live on 12 March, will address the challenges against prejudices and stereotypes, and the path to greater gender equality at all levels. It will also focus on the evolution and progression of the role of women in a sport that has historically been led by male figures.
Since the IFSC was founded, it has worked hard to ensure gender equality. One example relates to competition prize money, which has always been equally distributed between men and women. The athlete representation on the IFSC Executive Board is also gender balanced, with Shauna Coxsey and Sean McColl as the current members.
