History
Pilipinas Climbing was originally known as the Sport Climbing Association of the Philippines (SCAPI).[1] It was established in September 1998.[2]
SCAPI has been sending athletes at the X Games Asia since 1998.[3][4]
SCAPI sent its first athletes to the SEA Games at the 2011 SEA Games in Indonesia.[5] It also sent climbers at the 2018 Asian Games, also in Indonesia.[6]
In 2023, SCAPI adopted its current name and became a full member of the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) after having been a continental member.[1] As of 2025, Pilipinas Climbing is yet to become a regular member of the Philippine Olympic Committee and the state-run Philippine Sports Commission.[7][8]
