Tranquilitas is turning 20 🎉 Save the date: 2–4 October 2026. We’re celebrating 20 years of Tranquilitas with a full weekend of climbing, mountain biking, and community in a place that’s been home to so many good memories. Expect scavenger hunts, campsite games, shuttle laps, a few throwbacks, and plenty of time to just enjoy being there together. We’re also putting together a Friday night memories video and would love your help. If you’ve got photos or clips from Tranquilitas over the years, please upload them to the Google Drive (link in bio) in a folder with your name and when they were taken. Let’s make this a proper 20-year throwback 💛 More details to come, but you won’t want to miss this one.

We hope you’re ready to rumble and be humbled with some funky FRESH lead routes…because the 2026 La Sportiva Lead League has arrived 🤩 ⚠️TAKE NOTE ⚠️ We’ve updated the categories with separate Male/Female grade ranges for Rising Stars and Mad Strong, please make sure to read the category poster before registering 💪 Your Lead League climbing session can be as long (or short) as you like, as long as it all happens in a single day. Log your scores in the Pebble Climbing app and submit them by midnight on Sunday each week for a shot at some lekker prizes 🎁 Check out our Youtube channel if you need help logging your scores on the Pebble App📱 You’ll need to compete in at least 3 rounds to qualify for podiums and prizes. PLUS – climb in all 4 rounds and you’ll be entered into a lucky draw to WIN a pair of La Sportiva climbing shoes 🩰 Keep an eye on our socials for updates, chat to us in the gym if you’ve got questions, and get ready to SMASH IT! Note: Final scores are calculated from your top three rounds. The gender non-conforming category is still available – select your category on Pebble as you see fit. To be eligible for prizes and podiums, you must compete in and submit scores for at least three rounds. Only climbers who complete all four rounds will qualify for the La Sportiva shoe lucky draw. Please submit scores from the same device and account you used to register – scoring from a different account creates a duplicate profile, which we unfortunately can’t fix. Pebble not working on your phone? Ask at front desk and we’ll help you log your scores on one of the iPads in the gym📱
