The World Climbing Asia Championship is an annual Asian championship for competition climbing organized by World Climbing. Until 2006, it was called UIAA Asian Championships. It was called the IFSC Asian Championships from 2007 to 2025, when the International Federation of Sport Climbing was rebranded as World Climbing. In 2001, the first Bouldering Championship was held separately (from lead and speed competitions) from 19 to 20 December 2001 in Yung Ho, Taiwan.^[1] In 2018, at the Asian Championships in Kurayoshi, Japan, a combined format was introduced.
