1. Open category

As the name implies, the Open category is for all adults and youth who can cut it with the grown ups. As with the Youth category, the Open category is open to all climbers who are in possession of a valid Maltese residence card or Maltese citizenship. Any boulderers who do not qualify may still participate in the Amateurs & Masters category.

2. Amateurs & Masters

This is the category for those climbers out there who want to get a taste of the competition. Whether you’re a venerable master or a complete beginner, this is a great wave where having fun is the goal, and winning is only a secondary objective. Climbers who do not qualify to participate in the Youth or Open category can take part in our Amateurs & Masters wave.

If you have any doubts about which category you qualify for please don’t hesitate to contact our Youth & Competitions officer.
