IFSC Sport Climbing World Championships 2019
// Hachioji, Japan

Photo Supply and PR

The IFSC World Championships 2019 was the very first Olympic qualifying event to take place in the history of sport climbing.

Band of Birds had a front seat to all of the 11 days of non-stop sporting action and captured all the drama as well as supporting GB Climbing with PR to raise the profile of the team as well as distribute the news of Shauna Coxsey becoming the first British women to secure an Olympic place for Sport Climbing.

We bagged our first front cover shot with an iconic pic of Shauna as she prepared to step out onto the mats which made the cover of the widest distributed print climbing magazine, the BMC Summit magazine.
