Send Fest 26 Round Up

Send Fest 26 Recap

On Saturday 14th March we hosted our annual Send Fest Bouldering Competition, featuring two qualification rounds across 25 boulders and a World Cup–style spectator final.

After a full day of climbing, the top six male and six female competitors progressed to the finals to battle for podium positions, creating an incredible atmosphere from start to finish.

The Open Male final was extremely close, with three tops secured and final podium positions ultimately decided on attempts — every move and every try made the difference.

The Open Female final was equally competitive, with two tops achieved and podium places decided by the finest of margins. The pressure remained high until the very last climb.

Huge respect to all six finalists for an exciting showcase of strength, composure and determination.

All competitors received a Send Fest goody bag, including exclusive merchandise designed by Nerd That Draws (t-shirt and tote bag), plus entry into our raffle — with the top prize of Unparallel climbing shoes.

Special thanks to Cailean and Ben from Impact Route Setting for outstanding route setting and expert finals commentary, and to DJ S.Kosch for keeping the energy high throughout the event.

A huge thank you to our event sponsors Dark Ventures, Unparallel, Rhino Skin, Tokyo Powder, Red Bull and Tenzing for their support.

📸 Send Fest veteran photographer Kurt @crimp_media was on hand to capture all the action — from tough qualification battles to the electric spectator finals. This is just the first set of photos, with more to follow soon.

Thank you to everyone who competed, supported and spectated. We’re already looking forward to next year.
