League heads north for opening leg

The new season of the Armed Forces Bouldering League gets under way at Depot Climbing, in Leeds, on September 10.  

Comprising six rounds at venues across the country, the event has proven increasingly popular in recent years and will feature elite and open categories.  

An individual competition, the winners will be decided from their best three results across all legs. Rounds four to six will also double as the single service championships.  

OCdt Libby Moor (Liverpool UOTC) has competed in the event previously and believes the sport offers a welcome challenge for personnel.  

“I like the problem-solving aspect to it,” she said. “It is a collaborative approach with others, thinking about what you can do.   

“There is also the physical side and the need to be strong.” Scan the QR code to register.
