This makes the event suitable for newer boulderers as well as more experienced junior climbing competitors. Your final score will be produced by adding together your best 20 bloc scores.

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.
