Sport climbing competition at the 2026 Asian Beach Games is currently holding at the West Gate of the Tianya Haijiao Scenic Spot in Sanya, China from 26 to 27 April 2026.[2][3]

In the qualifying round of the men's individual, Zhao Yicheng set a new world record for the climb, clocking in at 4.58 seconds, bettering Samuel Watson's 4.64 seconds[4]; he would go on to win the gold without actually contesting the final against Antasyafi Robby Al Hilmi, as Zhao was awarded the win due to Al Hilmi's false start, the only occurrence in the knockout stages of that event.

The women's individual saw all 4 semifinalists come from China, with Zhou Yafei winning gold over Deng Lijuan, and Zhang Shaoqin claiming bronze over Qin Yumei, who herself had only made the semifinal due to her quarterfinal opponent, top seed Desak Made Rita Kusuma Dewi, falling short of the finish button, as Qin's time of 11.96 in that round was the second-slowest recorded in the knockout stages.

In the relay events, the men's final saw a rematch between China's Zhao and Indonesia's Al Hilmi (paired up with Long Jianguo and Raharjati Nursamsa respectively); this time the competitors raced to a proper conclusion, with China beating Indonesia and setting a world record in the process, and Kazakhstan's Rishat Khaibullin and Rashid Khaibullin winning bronze. In the women's event, Dewi and Kadek Adi Asih won gold for Indonesia, having set a world record earlier in the competition, with South Korea winning silver and China the bronze.[5]
