Schools Bouldering Competition 2023

Sheffield & Greater Sheffield Schools Bouldering Competition 2023

Registration for the 2023 Sheffield & Greater Sheffield Schools Bouldering competition is now open!

A fun, inclusive competition, offering a new experience for many who enter - with a large number of teams being made up of pupils who have had little or no previous climbing experience. In some cases, sparking a lifelong love for the sport! 

Last year, despite the challenges faced by COVID, we still had around 600 students enter across Sheffield and Greater Sheffield. 

How does the competition run?

 All registered schools will take part in a 2 hour qualification round booked during the January-February school term time. 

The top 10 Sheffield Primary and Secondary schools will be invited to take part in the Sheffield final on the 30th March. 

The top 10 Greater Sheffield Primary and Secondary schools will be invited to take part in the Greater Sheffield final on the 29th March.

How do we enter?

Once you have registered you will be sent a link to book a qualification slot (please note this may take a few days to come through). Qualification slots can be booked for up to 18 climbers.

Each school will have 2 hours to try the qualification blocs (8-12 climbs) with points being scored on how many of the climbs get topped and the number of attempts. 

The top 6 scores from your school will be added up to give your school an overall score. Each school's score must include at least one male and female. 

Qualification rounds will end on the 10th February and schools will be notified if they have made it to the final.
