Winter Bouldering Leagues 2023/24

Stay strong, winter is coming! Winter Bouldering Leagues return to Depot Climbing this winter season to keep you moving throughout the cold months.

4 months, 4 rounds, scores count for a limited time only (up to 4 days), with the final round score counting double. Your best 3 scores from the 4 rounds are combined to give your local Depot WBL Champions.

Every round in each participating centre will host a raffle on the round, simply submit your scorecard to be in with a chance of winning great prizes from top brands, no matter where your score lands you.

The more rounds you attend, the bigger and better the raffle prizes become!

What is the Winter Bouldering League?

Here to foster a sense of community within each Depot Climbing site, Winter Bouldering Leagues inject a bit of friendly competition and an opportunity for climbers of all abilities to experience a competitive environment without pressure.

6 Depot Climbing centres will host 4 rounds of the Winter Bouldering League competition, Round 1 will take place in December, Round 2 will take place in January, Round 3 in February and the final Round 4 will take place in March.

Unlike in previous years of Bouldering Leagues, scoring will be available for limited periods only, and Depot WBL rounds will be set in/on a specific area of a designated competition wall in each participating site.

Be sure to check what days scoring is open at your local Depot site.

Scores will be submitted online, with results available within hours of completion of the round. No more paper scorecards!

Please enter your scores within the time limit of the round, any scores NOT submitted by the time the round closes will not be counted, with no exceptions.

How do they work?

It’s all so simple! Each round will consist of 20 boulders, ranging from V0-V8, climb as many of them as you can, in as few attempts as possible, all while having fun! The scoring works:

1st attempt = 10 points
2nd attempt= 7 points
3rd attempt = 4 points
4+ attempts = 1 point

R4 scores will count double.

Your final League score will be your 3 best scores combined from the series.

Problems will be up on the walls until the reset for the next round, however, scores only count on the designated round days, your scores won’t be counted if not submitted during the current round.
