So far, three Indonesian climbers have already booked their tickets through the 2026 World Cup series: Ravianto (men’s boulder), Putra Tri Rahmadani (men’s lead), and Sukma Lintang (women’s lead).

FPTI emphasized that the qualifiers are not only about securing Asian Games berths but also about testing Indonesia’s depth in climbing talent across disciplines. With world-class names like Veddriq Leonardo and Kiromal Katibin leading the speed squad, and promising athletes in lead and boulder, the federation hopes to strengthen Indonesia’s standing in the sport at the continental level.

This campaign marks another step in Indonesia’s ambition to remain a powerhouse in competitive climbing, with eyes firmly set on podium finishes at the Asian Games 2026. ***
