Banff Climbing Challenge & ACA Youth Bursary Silent Auction

Celebrating 15 years at The Banff Centre, we are pleased to once again host our annual climbing challenge. Open to all ages and abilities, this event welcomes everyone who loves to climb.

Also, we are hosting a silent auction in support of the ACA's Youth Bursary. Amazing items to bid on with all proceeds going to Alberta athletes going to national and international climbing competitions and events.

The event, as always, will be a scramble format including bouldering, top rope, and lead routes. Top 7 climbs will count towards your individual ranking plus a combined score for the team ranking.

*** PLEASE BE AWARE: this competition is NOT sanctioned by the ACA for points for youth or open rankings. It is just a fun competition for everyone to particiapte in.***
