Arch B1 is proud to host the official UK Qualifier for Team Boulder Arena 4 (TBA4) — a high-energy bouldering comp where performance meets community, and the vibes are unmatched.

What is TBA4?

TBA4 is an international pro and amateur bouldering competition held in Paris this November. One all-male team and one all-female team from the UK will qualify to compete — with travel and two nights’ accommodation fully covered.

Competition Categories

• Adult Same-Sex Teams
  Teams of 2 climbers, same gender pairing. Eligible for podium prizes and qualification to the UK Finals and TBA4 in Paris.
• Adult Mixed-Gender Teams
  Open to all gender pairings. Not eligible for UK Finals or Paris qualification, but can still compete in the qualifier round and win podium prizes based on their score across the 20 blocs.
• Youth Division (Ages 14–17)
  Same structure as mixed teams — not eligible for UK Finals or Paris qualification, but podiums and prizes are awarded based on qualifier scores.
