The BMC Leading Ladder kicks off on Saturday 1 October 2011 and runs through to 25 March 2012 at 29 UK walls. This fun lead climbing competition for ages 12+ is a great way to get fit and challenge yourself this winter. There are 2 rounds in Scotland both at EICA 29th Oct - 13th Nov and 11-26 Feb.

Categories
Each round will have 10 routes ranging from F5+ to F8a, with the following three categories - A, B and C.

• Category A is for climbers who lead indoor routes in the grade range F5+ to 6b.
• Category B is for climbers who lead indoor routes in the grade range F6b+ to 7a.
• Category C is for climbers who lead indoor routes in the grade range F7b to 8a.

You choose which category you want to compete in and then your points will be entered into that category in the scoring system. 

Each of the three categories will then be split into male and female, and under 16's and 16's and over. Ages will be those on 31st December 2011, and climbers must be no younger than 11 years old.
