Get Cranking

CRANK Boulder is the competition that meets you where you are, whether it's your first comp or your fiftieth. Eight categories, one epic weekend, and a wall with your name on it. Bring your best. We'll bring the walls.

What’s Cranking?

CRANK is a bouldering competition run closely to International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) rules built to fill the gap between small local comps and full-scale international events. It's a proper stage: a place for established athletes to sharpen up, and for hidden talent across Asia to get discovered.

It's also just a ridiculously good time. Big sends, loud crowds, and a community that shows up for each other. There's a place for everyone here. Which one are you?

Reasons To Tie In

More than a scorecard

Test Yourself For Real

Nothing pushes you like a comp wall and a clock. Find out what you're actually capable of.

A Category That Fits

From total rookies to national athletes, everyone climbs against their own level. No throwing yourself to the wolves.

Get Seen

CRANK is a talent-discovery platform. National selectors and coaches are watching, this could be your break.

The Community

Win or fall, you're doing it surrounded by the loudest, most supportive crowd in KL.

Part Of 

Something Bigger

CRANK runs inside KL Climbing Week, so your comp weekend comes with talks, workshops, an expo floor, and a whole festival.

Comp-Ready Reps
