Gaz Parry will be defending his title
The BMC is holding the British Bouldering Championships (BBC) at the Cliffhanger Festival for the second year running and it’s set to be a weekend of gripping action. The championships will also form part of the selection process for the 2009 British Bouldering Team, which competes at international events.
Last year’s senior champions Gaz Parry from Bury and Katy Whittaker from Edale will both be defending their titles. But will they reign supreme again? There’s the Cliffhanger.
Looking forward to the event, Gaz said: "Hopefully the sun will shine and the event will be bigger and better than last year."
You can get up close to the action in the big bouldering marquee. Come cheer on the competitors in the junior event on Saturday 12 July and the senior championships on Sunday 13 July.

If watching the bouldering championships proves to be too nail-biting, there’s plenty more to see and do at the UK’s largest outdoor outdoor-pursuits festival. Activities and entertainment includes a dyno comp, parkour, scuba diving, slack lining, reverse bungee, refreshments, a lecture marquee, snowboarding displays and lots more.
