Supported by The Arch Climbing Wall, who have 3 top class facilities suitable for all abilities across London, competitors will be competing for a £4,000 prize fund, with £1,000 going to first place in both the male and female competitions.

The Saturday will be broken down into 3 sessions each lasting 2.5hrs, with 20 problems for each competitor to try and complete.

The top 20 men and top 20 women will then go through to the semi-final taking placeon Sunday AM, with 6 men and 6 Women then advancing through to the Sunday PM Final.
