TBA5 London

Saturday 10 October 2026 - morning until night

Amateurs and pros climb on the same blocs, in the same space, under the same pressure, creating an atmosphere built on performance, community and full-scale immersion.

Categories

Pro

The Pro category is for teams wishing to compete at a professional level. If anyone on your team has ever represented your country regionally, nationally or internationally, you must enter Pro. All other teams may choose to enter Pro if they wish to compete at that level.

Amateur

Open to all other climbers who want to experience the TBA format. Both categories are available in Male and Female team formats.

Format

Teams of two, non-mixed. A shared score.

Qualification Round

The qualifiers run in a knock-out format. Every four minutes, a new boulder is released. Your team must complete the boulder within those four minutes. If you fail to complete it in time, you’re out of the competition. Teams who progress the furthest through the qualification blocs earn their place in the evening finals.

Finals

The first boulder of the finals is eliminatory. If you don’t flash it, you’re out immediately, so choose who attempts it wisely. After that, the format returns to four-minute blocs, where each boulder must be completed within the time limit to stay in the running.

What to Expect

• A welcome goodie bag

• DJ sets, music and an immersive Arena atmosphere

• Food and drinks available on site
