International competitions are the best arena for our athletes to exhibit their talents and gain experience, but these come at very high costs. The team's hard work and dedication can only go so far without monetary support. Majority of our athletes consist of individuals with day jobs or are currently students, and funds are always an issue.

In this light, we are seeking your financial support for the Philippine National Climbing Team. Monetary support will be allocated to the most needy athletes who are also the deserving, top performers. Aside from training expenses, our budgetary requirements for the upcoming competitions this year are listed below:
