Summit Up is turning four, and we are celebrating with a special three-day climbing event. From 19 to 21 September, our entire bouldering area will be stripped back and reset with fresh, competition-style problems designed to challenge every level of climber. Whether you are new to climbing or an experienced competitor, there will be something to test your technique, power, and problem-solving skills.
Boulder Fest is open to all, with four categories to choose from: Adult Male, Adult Female, Under 18 Male, and Under 18 Female.
Prizes will be awarded to the top three in each category. Entry is just £5 and includes automatic entry into our raffle, meaning you could win even more simply by taking part.
To join, pick up your scorecard from reception during the event dates and take on the problems at your own pace. This is more than just a competition — it is a chance to celebrate Summit Up’s 4th Birthday, connect with the climbing community, and enjoy three days of challenge, fun, and atmosphere.
Summit Up are delighted to be offering free Easter Holiday Camps for eligible children. To qualify, children must be aged between 6 and 10, live in the Oldham postcode area, and have a valid HAF code.
We are excited to invite local teachers and youth group leaders to The Summit Up Educator Experience at Summit Up Climbing.
This special event is designed to give you the opportunity to try climbing for yourself, explore our facilities, and learn more about how we support schools and youth groups through engaging, confidence-building experiences. Whether you are looking for an exciting school trip, a team-building session, or a new activity for your young people, we would love to showcase what we offer.
We are currently gathering expressions of interest to help us confirm a date and time that works best for attendees. There is no commitment at this stage - simply let us know if you would be interested in attending and your preferred availability.
