The Big Hold Up

Tired of tradeshows full of shiny new climbing holds, where you can stand and look, but barely touch?



Well this year we have decided to mix it up and stick all the very latest climbing holds, macros and volumes where they belong, on a climbing wall.

We have VIP invites for the climbing industries route setters and hold buyers to come along and try out a bunch of holds (and moves) that have never been seen in the UK before, let alone climbed on, from the biggest brands in the IFSC World Cup circuit.

Some of these holds are straight off the Bern World Championships Wall and straight back to Sheffield.



We have invited our friends Jacky Godoffe and Percy Bishton to throw up some blocs to push the holds (and us) to the limits.

We have invited some of the GB pro athletes to come with their personal coaches to join in the madness, so for those ‘on the list’ you can get a ‘behind the scenes’ insight into a pro training camp run by the most experienced IFSC Chief Route Setters in history and test out the blocs yourself.

This exclusive sesh will take place across 14-15th September, apply online here for a free VIP ticket to enter. Bring your climbing shoes if you wish to climb!
