Rockstar Climbing was packed with competitors taking part in the Summer Climbing Competition on Saturday.

To a background of pumping music, climbers got to grips with an array of devious challenges carefully designed by route setters to put competitors through their mental and physical paces. During the initial rounds, those taking part in the ‘red point’ format event, were asked to record points according to how high they were able to climb on each of the 26 routes in the competition.

Highest scorers then took part in a finals event before an appreciative crowd, with a £100 cash prize for winning female and male climbers.The event formed part of the venue’s weekend Summer climbing festival which featured live music, an all day BBQ, climbing workshops and discounts on course bookings.
