The grand final of all the youth climbing series was held at Edinburgh International Climbing Arena in Ratho Scotland on Saturday 30th June 2007. As all the regions in Britain take part it is called the British Regional Youth Climbing Series final - or BRYCS final for short. It is a BMC event. That means it is put on, organised and run by the BMC with the help of a vast number of volunteers.

A really great day was had by all.

The BMC would like to say a great big thank you to all the numerous volunteers who made the day possible, all the competitors, their supporters, family and friends, the MC of S and the staff at the Edinburgh International Climbing Arena in Ratho, the members of the British Junior Climbing team for giving out the prizes, the route setters for such great climbs and problems, the Westway Trust for supporting and sponsoring the event, and finally to Graeme Alderson who organised such a great competition on his very last day as a BMC employee before going off to make his fortune as a climbing wall owner.

In all, 166 young people took part in the final and many, many more took part in the regional rounds.
