The Scottish Schools Climbing Competition (SSCC) started in the academic year 2009 – 2010. The competition was a great success in bringing together pupils from all over Scotland to compete on behalf of their school. The competition encourages any Scottish Secondary School pupil to take part in the competition at their chosen climbing wall.
The competition is designed to allow participants of all abilities to be able to take part in the first round, which comprises of Bottom Rope and Lead Rope climbing split into male and female categories in 3 different age groups. Competitors must compete on behalf of their school. This can be done either as part of an instructed session (organised by the school), or as an individual (possibly with a parent or guardian) at their chosen wall.
