The Scottish Schools Climbing Competition

In Association with the Mountaineering Council of Scotland and St Aloysius College

This is the first of its type in Scotland and the MCofS are pleased to support it as part of our commitment to increasing climbing participation through schools.

The competition is split into 2 rounds:
Round One: Open Round
This round is open to all and scored by a teacher or instructor during a regular climbing session. Competitors are required to take part in either a top rope or lead category and complete 5 routes which are available for a period of 2 weeks dates: 12th - 23rd Jan 2010. Competitors are scored on height they achieve on each route.

Round Two: The Grand Final
The top 6 female and male climbers in the lead category will be invited back to take part in the Grand Final on Saturday 6th February 2010. The final will be made up of lead climbing only.

The Scottish Schools Climbing Competition is open to:

  • All Scottish School pupils aged not less than 14 on 31st August during the year of competition.
  • All competitors must attend the competition rounds as part of a school run group climbing session or a Glasgow Climbing Centre run climbing session.

All teachers and competitors are required to read and understand the competition regulations. All competitors are required to complete a scorecard and consent form prior to taking part in the competition. All the details and forms can be downloaded from the Glasgow Climbing Centre website HERE

Member’s Nights
Every Tuesday Night
8pm until 10pm
An instructor is provided (free) to help members with their climbing; useful for climbers without a belay buddy as we can team you up. This is very informal with technical content decided on the day. Just pay your normal entry fee.
