When is SBL 2024?
Most Hangar gyms will be hosting their comps on the following dates, but these dates may differ for some gyms so please check the dates of your local comp before making any plans.
ROUND 1: FRIDAY 21 JUNE 2024
ROUND 2: FRIDAY 19 JULY 2024
ROUND 3: FRIDAY 23 AUGUST 2024
How does it work?
Taking part in SBL 24 is easy: purchase a scorecard for every round of your local comp online, then join us on the night of each comp to test yourself against 25 all-new blocs and have a good time.
Points are gained for each climb you send, and the winner of each category is the climber who accumulates the most points. But giveaway prizes can be won no matter where you land in the league table.
Scorecards cost £2, for members and non-members.
To take part on the night you'll need to pay admission into the wall, as usual. Admission is included in TCH monthly membership or a single PAYG admission.
What are the categories?
There are four categories in the competition:
Adult male, adult female, adult open and Under 14.
How do I enter?
Simply purchase a scorecard online then check into your local venue during the round to tackle the climbs and collect your scores.
How do I win?
If you score the most points in your category, you’ll be immortalised on the Hangar walls, but that isn’t the only way to win. Every time you purchase a scorecard your name enters the pot for a raffle prize.
How good a climber do I need to be to take part in a comp?
Hangar comps should be fun and you don’t need to be the best climber in the building to take part. Several of the comp climbs will be set at our lower grades, while others will be more difficult to send.
Comps are great because climbs aren’t set in the usual colour grade spectrum. The only way to know the difficulty of the bloc is to check it out. This is useful for novice or intermediate climbers who might not often venture away from the grades they’re comfortable with.
The comp will be a new challenge but should be seen as a fun one rather than an intimidating one.
How much does it cost to take part?
Scorecards cost £2 per round, for members and non-members.
Be aware that to climb, you’ll also need to pay for entrance to the site. Standard entry fees apply. Members climb at no extra cost. See your local venue’s page for entry costs.
