SBC 2025 landscape

ClimbScotland will host two-day Scottish Boulder Championships on 26th and 27th April 2025 at EICA, Ratho.

The competition is open to climbers in U13, U15, U17, U19 and Senior categories.

As a national competition, the SBC boulders are of a higher standard than the bouldering found in the ClimbScotland Youth Climbing Series (YCS). It is aimed at any climber who wishes to compete at this high level, and those who are trying for selection to the Scottish Development and National Squads. You do not have to be a Scottish resident to enter.
