Competition Rules
1. Teams must consist of 6 people.
2. All climbers must be over the age of seven.
3. Any height that is to be counted towards the team’s total must be gained by a complete climb of the wall in question – partial climbs will not be counted.

Climbing shoes will be provided for adults; children and adults not wishing to wear climbing shoes should wear trainers. Manchester Climbing Centre will provide all safety equipment.
6. Each team will be assigned a climbing instructor. This instructor is responsible for the safety of that team, and therefore has the authority to stop a session should the behaviour or capabilities of the team pose a threat to the safety of themselves or others.
7. Climbers must not be under the influence of alcohol or drugs while taking part in this event. Anyone thought to be will be will not be allowed to climb.
