ClimbMT Malta National Bouldering Championship 6th December 2025

Posted by simonalden on

On Saturday 6th December the climbing community gathered for the 3rd edition of the ClimbMT National Bouldering Championship, hosted for the first time at Crashpad — Malta’s brand-new, World Climbing (Formerly IFSC International Federation of Sport Climbing) standard indoor bouldering facility. The day was a powerful statement of growth for Maltese climbing, and a clear signal of the bright future ahead for local competition climbing.

ClimbMT has been extremely busy over the past year organising a full programme of national bouldering competitions.  These included 4 league competitions which were hosted at the Gebla, QSI and Sliema Scout HQ venues. However, it’s clearly the national championship held at the end of the year which is the most anticipated, and this year’s edition was no exception.

The event was well attended with 60 participants in the various categories.  Many established competitors were present and  it was very encouraging to see plenty of new faces too, at every age level.

For the first time, a self-judging system was used for scoring the waves using the Griptonite app with which visitors to the Crashpad venue were already familiar.

During the competition the atmosphere was generally relaxed while at the same time quite intense.  ClimbMT officials in their distinctive bright orange T-shirts roamed the facility, offering advice and monitoring the scoring as necessary.  The routes were set primarily by expert Frenchman and ClimbMT Competition Committee member Mathias Genesseaux and Dan Clowes, the youth coach at Gebla, and Sascha van Gammert and partner from Crashpad.  As expected for a competition at the national level, the problems the setting team created were quite hard.  This is part of ClimbMT’s strategy to prepare our athletes for international competitions.

Crashpad Head coach Sapphire Amari-Warnes, who moved to Malta specifically for the role, started the official events of the day with a briefing, induction and warmup for the younger competitors, some of whom were visiting the gym for the first time.

The Youth waves are often the most rewarding to watch as the young kids grapple determinedly with the problems, using all their energy and skill  –  amazing to witness in children so young.

The competition is streamlined by age, with each stream grouped into three different waves.

The Youth D & E wave lasted 90 minutes, whereas the other waves were of 120 minutes to allow for the greater number of problems to be climbed.

As the day progressed, and the subsequent Waves took their turn, the leaders on the scoreboard started to emerge. As expected, two-time national champion Luca Giglio was very strong and dedicated. Shaun Miggiani, an emerging climber of great talent and power was clearly doing well too. Dark horse Jacob Grech, who is more of an outdoor climber, showed that his strength and talent extends to indoor bouldering.  Crashpad owners Sean Cassar, David Attard and Balasz Bolok all participated, though clearly they’ve been spending more time mixing cement and building the wall than they’ve been training! Just kidding guys!

On the women’s side, Crashpad assistant coach Alice Gerardin, probably the strongest female climber in Malta at the moment, was cruising, while Lisanne Robert, a relative newcomer to the local scene, was right up there for the chase.  Former national champion Julia Vella notched up a good score.

The Finals

A good crowd attended the finals which were tense and exciting.  In the women’s group, Alice confirmed that she was a cut above the rest, flashing three of the four problems, topping out the fourth on just her second attempt. Lisanne was strong and took the battle to Alice but her higher number of attempts ultimately let her down and she had to settle for second place. Marianna Teixeira Magalhaes did very well to finish third. Dominique Portelli, one of Malta’s up and coming Youth Climbers made it to the finals and performed confidently and well. One to watch!

The men’s competition saw Luca emerge triumphant with a great performance that gave him his third title in a row. He climbed confidently and read the problems well. It will be hard to wrest the crown of national champ from his grasp! Shaun Miggiani and Jacob Grech finished second and third respectively, with powerful performances. They will continue to provide solid competition for Luca in future.

Heartfelt thanks

A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who made this championship possible — especially:

• All the dedicated volunteers who helped with judging, marshalling, and logistics.
• The route setters, whose creativity and technical skills shaped the problems that tested every competitor.
• The executive team and organisers at ClimbMT, with special gratitude to Louise Giglio, whose tireless work and coordination made the whole event happen.

The inauguration of Crashpad as the venue for the national championship marks a milestone — giving Maltese climbers access to infrastructure comparable to international training gyms. This raises the standard of competition locally, and importantly, offers a space where our athletes can train and prepare for future international climbing competitions under conditions similar to those abroad.
