Kendal Wall hosted Round 2 of the popular “Marmot Masters Bouldering Competition” attracting a record number of competitors. The event is a series of fun climbing competitions for our busy winter season in collaboration with our sponsors Marmot outdoor clothing. Round 1 in October proved a huge success with over 50 climbers from all over the North West taking part.

The competition was accessible to all ages and climbing abilities, with competitors separated into categories, so that everyone had a chance of winning a fantastic Marmot prize. Competitors had to complete 20 set boulder problems, speed climbing and endurance elements all to be completed within 4 hours, the pressure was on! The atmosphere was electric with DJ Stan McNulty providing great tunes all night to keep everybody psyched up.


Aiden Roberts took the Elite Men’s top spot, with local girl Kitty Morrison from Ulverston winning the closely fought Elite Ladies category. Local girl Kelly Roberts from Kendal had a great night to take the Premier Ladies category from Kendal Wall’s own Sophie Edwards, who came fifth this time around. The veteran men’s category is always popular but Kendal gent Neil Davies pulled away from the field early to take first place.

Round 3 is of the competition is being held on Friday, 5th February 2016.
The Lakeland Climbing Centre would like to thank their sponsors Marmot, and Soundsmith Audio Visual for helping us create these events.
