The Capital Climbing Festival is a weekend celebration of climbing in the capital, hosted by London's three main walls - The Castle Climbing Centre, The Westway and Mile End Climbing Wall.

The Festival is centred around The prAna Triple Challenge - a masters competition in which top climbers will be competing for big cash prizes and a place on the podium. There will also be an open round where competitors will be battling it out for great prizes supplied by Snow + Rock. The winner must compete in all three rounds- both bouldering and leading!

This will be far more then just a competition. The festival will offer loads of activities,including "come and have a go sessions", slideshows, gear demos, workshops and masterclasses. We aim to entertain the whole family as well as novice climbers and seasoned veterans - a great day out for everyone.

The festival will run over two days:

14th October at the Westway and Mile End Climbing Walls from 10:00am to 7:00pm
15th October at The Castle Climbing Centre from 10:00am to 7:00pm.

Looks like you have been busy

how much does it cost?

unclesomebody · September 25, 2006, 03:04:47 pm

why is there no mention of what it costs to enter? I suppose it could be a good laugh... If only the leading wasn't part of this!

Places filling up fast

unclesomebody · September 28, 2006, 11:27:44 am

How fast? and who will be entering? Are beasts like Mclure going to be there? Basically, I just want to know what strong bastards are going to be there.

how about offering something like discounted last minute entry? Then you might get some more people... or are you just saying that to drum up more interest!?!?

dobbin · October 12, 2006, 10:24:31 am

account_inactive · October 12, 2006, 10:40:41 am

So exactly which british team members are entering?

unclesomebody · October 12, 2006, 11:17:54 am

i would expect all of them to be entering given it's decent prize money! They need to fund their extravagant lifestyles somehow...

You doing it Unc?

Only local i can think in with a chance is Tyler. Though he has mainly bouldered for a while now...

dobbin · October 12, 2006, 11:53:58 am

True, but he is still prepubescent and wont get pumped no matter how many moves he has to do. When you add that to the difficulty of moves he can do you have a winning formula.

Earl is in somewhere foreign. Dont know about Croxall - a likely contender, Mosely is in Maui and has retired, think Shaggy is away somewhere too.

Don't worry, you have nothing to fear. I can't afford the entry and the trip down. Should be a good laugh though...
