The end of the evening will also be the prize giving, so we can reward all those people who have worked so hard to get the top scores this winter, or who have made the most genuine improvement throughout the competition.

Festivities begin at 6pm on Friday the 30th of March and the prize giving will be after 9pm, when we have collated all the final scores.  We look forward to seeing you there!

The prize fund is looking good, with prizes for the best improvement throughout as well as the top scores. So head on down and pull on those nice clean holds this weekend, let’s see how well you can do in this final round; it’s all to play for!

The board includes the official Moon Climbing holds arranged to give both pre-determined graded problems as well as the opportunity to make up your own training combinations and promotes contact strength. The board also offers stamina circuits through the grades, currently from 6a to 7c meaning the board can be used to train all-round fitness.

So if you are looking to train for Boulder Yorkshire, or for any aspect of your climbing, head on down to HCC and check out this new addition!

Dave Barrans, Team GB member, climbing coach and current BLCC champion will be setting the problems as normal, but this time he will be joined by Yorkshire legend John Dunne who will set a guest problem.

There are two rounds left in this season’s Boulder Yorkshire, which is plenty of time to change the leaderboard! So head on down to Harrogate Climbing Centre this weekend to try out the great new problems.

For all you lead climbers out there, don’t forget that the Harrogate Climbing Centre are also hosting the BMC Leading Ladder until the 11th of February, so there’s plenty to keep competitive climbers busy in the Harrogate area!

Team GB member Dave Barrans will be setting a great new set of problems just for you, ready for the next round of the Boulder Yorkshire bouldering competition. Dave’s problems are becoming renowned throughout the county, and the UK, with other bouldering walls beginning to use him more and more in recognition of the quality that has been on offer throughout Boulder Yorkshire, but no other competition can offer problem set exclusively by the UK’s most experienced active competition climber!

The attendance for round three has been off the scale, with the highest number of competitors so far. The scores for round three will be compiled on Monday the 9th of January and published in the results section, so keep your eyes peeled!

The competition is hotting up, but the top spots are still open, with good scores in the next few rounds the competition could be yours, and we are keeping a good eye on the improver scores which will be rewarded with shiney gifts at the end of the competition; it’s all about taking part!

So head on down to Harrogate Climbing Centre from this Friday, the 6th of January and take part in Yorkshire’s friendliest bouldering competition!

In short, there’s something for everyone!
