The GB National Development Squad Selection Event took place at Awesome Walls Sheffield and the Depot Climbing Centre, Sheffield over the weekend of 9 & 10 November.

Below is the list of athletes who successfully met the selection criteria:

Overall Selection:

If you were unsuccessful this year we hope that you will continue to compete and enjoy your climbing, you will receive your technical and tactical video and feedback in the forthcoming weeks. Also, there are a number of international open events which you can enter as an individual and if you are wanting to experience international competition this would be a great place to gain more experience. The events will be listed when they are confirmed as either ‘open’ or ‘promo events’ on the IFSC Website here.

Congratulations to those athletes who did achieve selection, the physical profiling will take place as planned and you will recieve infomation as soon as possible as to the arrangements - so please keep an eye out for emails coming through. Once the physical profiling is underway we will be in touch with more detailed squad information and arragements for the training events in 2020.
