Aside from all the competitions, we’ll be raising money for good causes. Last years event supported Climbers Against Cancer and the GB Climbing Team and raised almost £4500. This year we continue our support for CAC, but will be splitting the total raised 50/50 with Community Action Nepal’s Earthquake Appeal.

3 COMPS AND MORE

The festival begins at 4pm on the Friday evening with our increasingly popular ‘NuKidsOnTheBloc’ Comp which is for adults and juniors who climb up to a max of around Font 6a/b; those ‘Nu’ to climbing or who just don’t take it that seriously. There’ll be 25 blocs to try across the centre from Font 3 to 6b-ish, with cash prizes across 5 categories including 2 junior categories (U12 and U16). Last years

NuKids comp was a complete sell out and unfortunately we had to turn people away who hadn’t registered, so this year we’re running two waves: The first wave will start at 4pm and the second will start at 7:15pm. This will allow us to cater for more climbers and having wave may also open up the competition to those who live a short drive away e.g. Cambridge, Peterborough, Ipswich etc.

Saturday and Sunday’s program is very much based around The Flash Championship; a full World Cup Format bouldering competition on the huge DMM Competition Wall. The reputation of the year’s route setting team goes before them: Bishton, Genoux, Long and Napier.

Need we say more? Qualifiers A and B will take place on Saturday with 30 blocs to tackle from Font 5+. The top 20 top scoring male and females will go through to Sundays semi final where they will do battle for a place in Sunday evenings Grand final - this year we hope to stream it live on 247.tv! The top 6 male and females will share £3k cash prize fund with the winning male and female taking home £500 each.

Entries are welcome from individuals and teams (or both) and there are cash prizes for winners, plus lots of raffle prizes and giveaways too; just be in it to win it.

Registration for both competitions is now open online http://highballclimbingnorwich.com/thebigflash/thebigflash-registration/

Finally, for those who like a jump, the dyno comp will return to the car park - weather permitting!

ANYTHING ELSE?

Aside from the 3 competitions there’s a whole timetable of FREE climbing and non-climbing events - there really will be something for everyone! Tenaya Boot Demo, Climbing Coaching, Strength and Conditioning sessions, Yoga, Pilates, Osteopathy, Physiotherapy and Sports Therapy Consultations, as well as workshops and seminars on sports injuries and nutrition. There’s a Saturday afternoon film -

Exposure Vol.2 and we’ll also have the Wild Country Crack machine all weekend too. There’s even a free Hog Roast to fill your stomach before the grand final!
