- Brand new comp climbs

- Prize draws
- Food and drink included
NEW FOR 2024: ONE DAY, THREE VENUES
This year, the action will unfold at THREE Hangar venues simultaneously, with comps taking place at Exeter, Reading and Sheffield on Saturday 12 October 2024.
Youth climbers from all over the country will go head to head in a test of skill, strength and strategy.

At Hangar Exeter, Paris 2024 Speed Climbing Bronze Medallist Aleksandra Kalucka will host a goal setting workshop for young athletes and also hand out prizes at the end of the big comp. She’ll be joined at the event by GB paraclimber James Rudge who’ll dish out plenty of psych and inspiration along the way. Lukey Smith, GB paraclimber and part of Ellis Brigham team will also be present.
Finally, at Hangar Reading, one of the UK’s hottest young climbing prospects Louise Flockhart will host a dynamic climbing workshop and there will also be an appearance by TJ from The North Face Explorer team and member of the Clmbxr community.
