Thirty six blocs. Ten categories. One podium each.
This summer, junior climbers can throw it down on the wall! This is a junior bouldering competition, with blocs specifically set to challenge young climbers of all levels. Whether you're new to competition climbing or a seasoned bouldering competitor, this indoor climbing event has something for you.
There will be 36 blocs in total, spanning a full range of grades and difficulties, from beginner-friendly climbs to technical, competition-style problems. Your final score will be produced by adding together your best 20 bloc scores. Categories and Booking!

Not competing? Inspired by the recent North Face Deep Water Solo event at Canary Wharf? If deep water soloing, psicobloc, and world-class climbing have you fired up, this junior bouldering competition is a great way to show off your own climbing skills, technique and competition capabilities on the wall.
If competing isn't for you right now, we run a wide variety of summer junior climbing sessions, bouldering, rope courses and indoor climbing activities all summer across every Font Climbing and Parthian Climbing centre, so there's always a way to keep climbing.
