Free to watch and free frozen yogurt 🍨 for BMC members Can't see this email? Click Here. It’s that time again when Britain’s strongest boulderers gather to test themselves at the British Bouldering Championships (BBCs). That’s right, the BBCs are back this weekend in Sheffield city centre as part of the Cliffhanger Festival! Set to take place on Devonshire Green, this free-to-watch event will be extended into the evening to take advantage of the warm weather. Come down to see all our homegrown talent in action: current IFSC World Cup champ Shauna Coxsey, three-time winner Dave Barrans, and a host of younger rising stars such as Tara Hayes, Molly Thompson-Smith, William Bosi and more.



With live music on Friday and Saturday night, food and drink stands galore, and loads of other attractions, the BBCs are set to be the unmissable event of the season. To celebrate the occasion, we’ve got a special £10 membership deal and a complimentary frozen yoghurt (limited supply – be quick!) if you sign up at the event. But don’t worry if you can’t make it – we’re livestreaming all the action so you can watch it as it happens, without any spoilers. We’ve got world-class climbers Mina Leslie-Wujastyk and Gaz Parry, both former competitors in the BBCs themselves, to commentate on the action and make sure you don’t miss any of the subtle techniques and beta that helped see that send. You can watch the live broadcast on our website here.



If you can only make it for part of the weekend, the schedule is as follows:



Saturday:

12pm Male qualification begins

2:30pm Female qualification begins

6pm qualification finishes



Sunday:

12:30pm Semi-Finals begin

2:45pm Semi –Finals finish

6:20pm Presentation of finalists begin
