Canberra Indoor Rock Climbing is excited to announce that we will be hosting a climbing competition open to all members of our youth squads to participate in, sponsored by Mont Adventure Equipment. The comp will be held at our Mitchell gym on Saturday March 2nd, which is CIRC’s 20th anniversary. It also marks 20 years of running our training squads, which have inspired a passion for climbing in many of Canberra’s youth and helped to foster a strong climbing community in the region.
The comp will be an all-day event, followed by an evening of free climbing for the Canberra community to celebrate 20 years of business.
The primary purpose of the comp is for squad members to have fun and learn about competition formats, but in a familiar setting. The competition entry fee will be $5.00, and we will provide any gear that competitors need. Spectators are welcomed and encouraged. We want to foster a positive, fun environment for the kids, so please come cheer them on!
