There will be a very friendly competition and if you've never competed before, it's a great way to see what it's all about. There will be a boot demo from Boreal, an onsite shop from Ellis Brigham, DMM's legendary krab breaker (bring your old krabs along for destruction testing), and of course a couple massive BBQs for cooking to your hearts content. The TCA therapists will be on hand to answer any injury or well-being related questions and we've lots of prizes to give away again too. Greg the Cycletherapist will be here to advise on any bike repairs you might need. There will also be an evening bar to help you chill out after your climbing has finished.
Climbing comp entry is between 5 and 7.30 pm and there will be 15 problems to try in 90 minutes.

We have written a little how-to guide that should make this a little easier to understand. You can read it via the Events Page or by clicking here.

]]>Glasgow updatehttp://www.theclimbingacademy.com/blog/2010/7/17/glasgow-update.htmlTCA2010-07-17T10:08:02ZWe've been into our Glasgow site and have been getting on with an initial clearing of the building. There are a number of structures to remove inside the climbing area and then we will have a short delay while the building developer carries out some internal work before we start the build proper. With most of the disaster recovery room now dismantled the true extent of the climbing area is more apparent. See latest pics on our TCA Glasgow Facebook group.
