About the event
We’re buzzing to bring back the Bristol Climbing Championships for its second year at Redpoint! Last year was a huge success, and we can’t wait to do it all again.
We’ll be setting 12 fresh routes, each split into 20 scoring zones – the higher the route grade, the more each zone is worth.
We’ll have some routes that are top-rope only, and the rest will be lead climbing. If you can lead climb, then you can climb all the routes; if you can only top-rope, you won’t have as many routes available – but there’s still plenty to go at!
You’ll have time to try a handful of routes, but only your top two scores count towards qualification.
