The Mountaineering Council of Scotland (MCofS) is calling on all young climbers across Scotland to sign up for the Youth Climbing Series 2011.
This Series consists of six fun and friendly competitions for climbers aged between 7 and 16 years old. Three events are held in the North of Scotland region, with three events in the South of Scotland on the same days.
The emphasis is very much on having fun at local competitions, but for those who choose to compete at all three regional events there is the prospect of gaining a place in the regional team and competing at the Scottish Final at the Edinburgh International Climbing Arena (Ratho) on May 28th and the British Final in Wolverhampton on June 25th.
MCofS Mountaineering Development Officer Kevin Howett said: “This series of events is all about participation. We want to see the maximum number of young climbers getting involved and just having a great day out.“
MCofS Membership Development Officer Mike Dales said: “The Youth Climbing Series looks set to be even bigger than last year and thanks to sponsorship from Troll there will be some great prizes for those who go on to compete in the regional teams.”
