The UK's friendliest winter bouldering competition is back for another year!

The La Sportiva sponsored Winter Bouldering League is back, with some tweaks at each centre to reflect customer feedback, making this an even better competition whilst retaining your chances of winning your share of a huge prize haul of La Sportiva shoes and equipment!

With problems from V0 right through to V8+ there is something for everyone, but the scoring is designed to reward climbers who give the most to the competition, rather than just rewarding the strongest. With extra prizes available for the most stylish ascent of our video-share #bonus26 problem, and rewards for the best progression throughout the league; it really is a competition for all!
