Winter Boulder Series 2025/26
What better way to track your progress through the dark winter nights than by joining in our fun and friendly competition series.
Featuring a full range of climbing problems set by Impact Route Setting Team and ranging from very easy to very hard, there's something for everyone!
Each round there are new problems to try from the best route setters around! Each round lasts a few weeks so there is plenty of time to tick off as many climbs as you can. Take as long as you like to complete the problems, and add to your score each visit!
There will be a bonus prize every round for the best fail or video that makes us laugh! Remember this series is about motivating climbers in the winter months and also about having fun!
At the end of the series, prizes are awarded to podium positions in all categories with category Winners receiving FREE entry to Send Fest! Includes T Shirt designed by nerdthatdraws and Goody Bag to Send Fest ‘26 on Saturday March 14th 2026! Here they can fight it out to win a top cash prize of £100!
