More about The ‘Lockdown’ League:

The ‘Lockdown’ League at Red Spider is a monthly score-tracking bouldering league that we’ve set-up while we’re unable to host on-the-day competition events. The league competition will be running for a total of 3 month-long rounds; that’s 4 weeks to tick as many blocs as possible from 3 special sets on our competition wall. Round 1 kicked off in mid-September with the current huge set from Yann Genoux, Emma Twyford, Evie Cotrulia and Mat VC, and after a break for lockdown 2.0, will now continue until 10pm 15^thDec, ready for another massive set for Round 2 happening 17^th December.

With a self-score red-point format, the ‘Lockdown’ League is a friendly competition open to all climbers. Each month there’s great raffle and social share prizes up for grabs, and over the three rounds, there’s top overall prizes for the high-scoring male and female!

How it works:

There will be 3 Rounds over 3 months (give or take national lockdown interruption!) to get as many tops and as many points as you can!

Each round there will be 40 competition blocs and 4 weeks to try them:

1. Grab your scorecards from reception (there is no charge to compete!)
2. Round 1: Over the next 2 weeks, finish trying out the 40 competition bouldering problems on our comp wall and track your score using the scorecard (please note, to keep Covid-secure we will be unable to hand out pens. Please B.Y.O.P (bring your own pen 😜), or please track your scores on your phone and make sure you fill in the scorecard later!)
3. Hand in your scorecard before the Round 1 deadline: before 22:00 on 15^th December
4. Raffle Winners will be contacted to arrange prize giving and announced on our social media after the 15^th December
5. Round 2 will run from the evening of the 17^th December – 22:00 on 19^th January
6. Round 3’s dates are from the evening of 21^st January – 22:00 on 23^rd February
