What climbing competitions take place each year?
The BMC organises bouldering and lead climbing competitions. These either occur on indoor walls or on artificial walls outside. The BMC does not organise competitions on outdoor crags – this is a longstanding policy to help protect the environment from overuse. Competitions organised by the BMC include: BMC Leading Ladder British Bouldering Championships British Lead Climbing Championships BMC Youth Climbing Series Climbing walls often hold their own climbing competitions. The British Teams take part in international events including the Bouldering World Cup and the Climbing World Cup. For more information on climbing competitions click here.
