Registration is via an email invite and is based on the results of the YCS Regional Rounds.

The top twenty-four climbers from each region across England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland will compete to be crowned champion.

The top three competitors from each category, in each region, will be eligible to compete at the Grand Final and will be invited to register via email after the fourth round has taken place.

The rules for the Grand Final can be found here

Grand Final Update

Due to the number of competitor confirmed to attend and the fire capacity of the host venues, we have to implement an adult restriction of one per competitor or siblings, unless the adult has volunteered.

It is highly unlikely we can not facilitate more than one adult per competitor - the adult must be responsible for supervising the competitor.

If you have any questions regarding the above, please email ycs@thebmc.co.uk

Format

The Grand Final will follow the regional round formats.
