That’s a wrap on the 2026 La Sportiva Winter Boulder Series and the final scores are in! 🔥

A huge thank you to everyone who took part, cheered, and made it one to remember 🙌

Massive congrats to our category winners and podium finishers 🥳

If you placed in the top three in your category, your prizes will be ready for collection from the gear shop from Thursday 06 August from 17:00 🎁

Just a reminder: rankings are based on your top 3 round scores, and you needed to have compete in at least 3 out of 4 rounds to qualify for the leaderboard and prizes🏅

PLUS, Everyone who competed in all 4 rounds will go into a lucky draw for a pair of La Sportiva climbing shoes – keep your eyes on our socials tomorrow for the winner 🏆
Dust off your best Tour de France costume – yellow jersey optional, sense of humour mandatory – and join us in the bouldering section for a classic Tour de 5A time trial. Top as many boulders as you can in 40 minutes, win some novelties, and enjoy a lekker jol. 🚲

Date: Friday, 14 August
Time: 6–7pm
Cost: Free for members, regular day pass for non-members

Rules of the road:

- Most boulders topped in 40 minutes wins.
- Climbing 6c or harder? One limb gets a yellow band and retires for the night.
- All grades welcome, and you can repeat a boulder every 5th climb.
- Report your tally to the scorer every 10 boulders, then take a shooter (or a forfeit challenge, for the non-drinkers) before you're back on the wall.

Honesty system, low stakes, high comedy. Chat to the front desk if you've got questions — see you out there!🤘
