SHEFFIELD AND GREATER SHEFFIELD SCHOOLS BOULDERING COMPETITION

Registration for the 2024 Sheffield & Greater Sheffield Schools Bouldering competition is now open!

 

A fun, inclusive competition, offering a new experience for many who enter.

​

This year we are switching it up!! In order to keep with the ethos in which this competition was originally set up 14 years ago, this year we want to focus on participation, rather than competition. We want to see as many new climbers as we can, and offer this opportunity out to those who wouldn't normally have access to climbing, rather than those that already climb regularly.

​

Funding has been granted from SSELP in order to make this a participation event, so we kindly ask teachers to follow this criteria when selecting their participants.  If you have any questions about this, please email Ruth@climbingworks.com.

 

If your students are experienced climbers, we still want to see them competing in our youth events later in the year. We have the Summer Youth Cup in June, and The Young Climbers Festival in August.

​

As we want as many new climbers entering this competition as possible, this year you will be able to book practice sessions prior to the qualification rounds. This means that your school can go into the qualification rounds feeling confident. These can be booked throughout November and December.
