The biggest sporting event of the year is taking place this weekend. Yes, we're talking about the return of the La Sportiva BMC British Bouldering Championships!
It's been two years since we've seen the best of British boulderers battle it out on the mats in front of a roaring crowd. Two whole years without seeing new blood and seasoned competitors crush those huge volumes, barely-there-slopers, and the sharpest of crimps. The British comp scene has really felt the absence of the British Bouldering Championships, but this year we're back in action!
The BMC is able to run the event under Stage 3 Government guidelines and the competition will be back at Devonshire Green on 10-11 July, as part of The Outdoor City's Cliffhanger Festival taking place across Sheffield. It's going to be a blast and we want to see who has got what it takes to bring home the gold medal.
