SLABFEST 2022

Posted on Tue, 19 Jul 2022, 11:27

Leave your guns at the door

Join us for an evening of fancy footwork and slab-based fun, with a set of exciting new problems and challenges across a broad range of grades, featuring:

Setting from slab legend Emma Twyford and the BB Crew
Prizes for the evening's Slab Masters
Fun Prize Draw for all entrants
Delicious local food & a licenced bar
Special challenges, Live music from DJ Billy and the return of DJ Shreddie!, freebies!

Here's a bit more on the format: Our plan is to set 16 climbs using all the slabs and vertical walls at BB, spread across a range of grades. You'll each get a tick sheet, but unlike most normal comps no-one will be counting attempts - we just want to know if you can get to the top (or the bonus hold). This should make it a bit less stressful, and also reduce wait times for the blocs.

At the end of the night, the climbers who have ticked the most blocs will win a highly coveted SLABFEST MASTER 2022 prize - details tbc!

We've got lots of other tasty prizes which everyone else will get a chance to win, too.

Lots of fun stuff going on during the evening, including a bar, delicious food, some fun extra challenges and plenty to keep everyone entertained through the night.

Cost: Normal entry fees only

AKA the Brighton Ultimate Footwork Festival - leave your guns at the door... ;)

EDIT: Sadly Franco Cookson, who was originally going to come and set some routes for the event, has had to answer the call of some wild and bold climbing adventures and is no longer able to make the event. Hopefully we'll see him another time!
