This is an event to provide disabled people with an opportunity to have a go at climbing in the competitive environment. It will be run in friendly surroundings with lots of experienced people on hand to assist. If successful it should become an annual event.
There will be three different categories:
- Using Upper & Lower Limbs (any number)
- Using upper limbs only
- Using upper limbs only that have impairments
The competition will also be open to people with sensory impairments and people with learning disabilities.
The competition will be run on a similar format to the BMC Youth Climbing Series. Competitors will have to climb three roped climbs and three boulder problems and will be given a score on each one dependant on height gained. The climber with the best score in each category will win.
There will also be a rope climbing category which will be based on speed; the fastest climber to climb to the top of the rope will be the winner.
