The Autumn League

‍

Join us for our biggest community event of the year.

With one ticket, take on 100 boulders across our 4 centres (Aldgate, White City, Stratford, and Fulham) over 3 weeks (28th Sept - 22th Oct).

Then, tackle 25 more boulders at Stratford for the 5th round and an epic finals on Saturday 24th Oct.

Your League ticket works as a membership across all 4 centres, so you can climb as much as you want during this time. This event is all about connecting the 4 communities, pushing yourself, having fun and winning some prizes along the way!

Early bird tickets on sale now until the 11th September!

Supported by: TENZING, Kletterkalk, 8bee, Crahg, and The Pie Crust.

What's New for 2026:

• We welcome our recently-refurbished site, Climbing Co. Fulham, into the League. They will have a qualifying round of 25 blocs to climb!
• Format Adjustment: You don't need to climb in all 4 qualifying rounds between 28th Sept - 22nd Oct. Your best 3 scores from Rounds 1-4 count towards your final score. However, you must attend Round 5 at Stratford on the 24th if you want to compete for podiums, finals and prizes!
• Extended round time: The qualifying rounds have been extended to start on the evening of each new set, so you have more time (no more taping off boulders!).
• New Youth Climber Category, Podium & Ticket for 10-15 year olds
• ‍‍New Raffle Prizes: Each boulder topped = one raffle ticket entry, announced on instagram every Friday during the League.

‍

How It Works:
