Friday, 2^nd October sees the return of our extremely successful Marmot Masters Bouldering competition. The competition is a series of fun, social evening climbing competitions in collaboration with our sponsors Marmot outdoor clothing. The event is in its third year and has been a huge success over previous years exceeding all expectations, with entrants growing year on year, with over 80 climbers from all over the North West taking part last year.

The competition is accessible to all ages and climbing abilities from 12 years to adults, with competitors separated into categories, so that everyone has a chance of winning a fantastic Marmot prize.  The competition consists of three rounds with Round 1 commencing on Friday, 2^nd October, Round 2 on Fri, 20^th November and Round 3 and the final on Friday, 5^th February 2016 from 5 pm – 10 pm.

The competition consists of 20 set bouldering problems of increasing difficulty, a speed route on our routing roof and a competition style route on our circuit board. Famous mystery route setters have been secured and the difficulties of the routes range from beginner through to problems that would test the very best climbers in the country.

“Our Marmot Masters Competition has picked up fantastic momentum in our region as the bouldering competition to enter and win. The competition is about having a go, having fun and meeting new people, with our team being on hand with friendly and supportive help and advice. I can guarantee a warm welcome will await all competitors and the atmosphere on the comp evenings are electric with our guest DJ playing tunes in the Marmot Loft all night to get everyone psyched up”, commented Head Route Setter, Simon Bennett.

Bouldering is the most accessible type of climbing for anyone (14 or over) to be able to get started independently at Kendal Wall. Bouldering consists of short climbs, at low level, above the safety of a crash mat, these are called boulder problems. It’s a fun, sociable and physical sport only requiring a pair of hire shoes, chalk for your hands and some determination.  Climbing is a great alternative to the gym for mind and body. 

The Lakeland Climbing Centre would like to thank their sponsors Marmot for helping us create these events.
