In British Climbing, when we talk about the cutting edge of the sport in the modern day, there is one name that will ALWAYS crop up in the discussion.

Marmot McClure Competition for KMF

Steve McClure has been at the forefront of British Climbing for more than two decades and he has laid claim to being our most prolific sport climber and one of our most accomplished trad climbers with significant repeats and standard-raising first ascents common place throughout his career. Only a small number of people can include sport routes of 9a and above AND trad routes of E11 on their climbing CV, across the world … McClure is one of them.

2014 sees Steve headline the UK’s premier outdoor festival, Kendal Mountain Festival, for the first time in its long history. Along with this, the weekend will also coincide with the launch of his first book, Beyond Limits, an autobiography charting his life, influences, career and some of the most interesting topics surrounding it.

To celebrate the launch of Steve McClure’s book, and his appearance at this year’s Kendal Mountain Festival, Marmot have put £1000 of gear up for grabs. Your chance to win is easier than ever and all you have to do is answer the following question:

 

FIRST PRIZE - £500 OF MARMOT GEAR
SECOND PRIZE - £350 OF MARMOT GEAR
THIRD PRIZE - £150 OF MARMOT GEAR
