BMC YOUTH CLIMBING SERIES
The BMC Youth Climbing Series is a series of fun climbing competitions specifically for young people with the emphasis on enjoyment. It is perhaps the most popular competition for young people attracting hundreds of entrants across the country.
The competition is open to all within the age categories. So, whether you're an experienced climber or a beginner, this could be just the competition for you. There are three regional rounds in each of the BMC Areas then a British Final when the top 3 in each category from each of the BMC Areas, BMC Wales and the two Areas from Scotland take part.
There are three age categories in these competitions, with separate girls and boys competitions.
The age categories are worked out on the year a young person is born - and obviously these change each year. For more on this see the "rough guide" mentioned below. |  |
Each event comprises of 3 routes and 3 boulder problems for each category.
The 14 - 16 years olds lead their routes the others top-rope them.
