We’re psyched, as we announce that the 2023 British Bouldering Championships is back!

The event will again take place on Devonshire Green, Sheffield, as part of the Cliffhanger Festival.

Date: 1st & 2nd July 2023

Location: Devonshire Green, Sheffield S3 7SF

Categories: Senior

Format: Qualification is 5 on 5 off; where each competitor will face a course of 5 blocs, with only 5 minutes for each boulder to unlock the sequence of the boulder in the lowest number of attempts.

Different problems are set for men and women. The Boulder ranking is decided by the number of problems solved. The top 20 competitors who solve the most problem in the least number of attempts, qualify for the Semi-Finals.

There is one zone hold per problem, set at approximately halfway.

The Boulder ranking is based on the following criteria:

  1. Number of tops reached.
  2. Number of zone holds reached.
  3. Number of attempts to top.
  4. Number of attempts to zone.

The problems are reset between the Qualification, Semi-finals and the Final.

Saturday 1st July     – Qualification for all categories

Qualifications – The climbers attempt to flash the problems, they will be able to view the problems by either watching in the crowd or via the demonstration videos.

Qualifications are from 09:00am until 18:00

Start Lists

Sunday 2nd July      – Semi-Finals and Finals

Semi-finals – The climbers observe the problems for the first time during their first attempt (no observation prior to the round).
