Volunteer judges and belayers

As with all roped climbing competitions, this competition will rely on the participation of volunteer judges and belayers for the climbers to compete. We ask that volunteers, parents, and competitors help in this regard. All belayers must be suitably experienced, and belayers and judges will receive a briefing from our Chief Judge prior to the start of each round.

Please let us know if you are available to judge or belay: championships@mountaineering.ie

Spectators

Spectators are very welcome to come and support the climbers. Spectator entry fee is €10 and can be paid upon entry.

Format

Each category will face two qualifying routes and a final route.

Categories: U17, U15 and U13 will climb on Saturday 07th June.

Categories: U19 and Senior will climb on Sunday 08th June.

There are two qualification routes per category, there will be no isolation for these routes. The starting order for the first qualifying route is random. Then the starting order for the second qualifier is the same as the first but staggered halfway. E.g. If there are 20 competitors in the category, number 11 will climb first on the second qualifier.

For the finals, all finalists will be held in an isolation zone. There will be a six minute observation of the final route, and then the finals are climbed on-sight.
