The 2026 championships will feature Bouldering (climbing without ropes, above large crash mats) with each school entering one or more teams. This can also contribute towards your PE & Sport Premium spending! Teams can have a maximum of 8 climbers across the categories and each school may submit multiple teams. Each team needs one member of staff to supervise them. The booking includes a link for a safety form to be completed before the event date. Open to all abilities from beginners to those who are regular climbers. |
