The most punk knockout bouldering circuit on the planet.

A one-of-a-kind competition with a unique format: teams of two sign up—amateur or professional.
A knockout circuit determines the winners.
The top 6 women’s teams and top 6 men’s teams face off in the finals.

THE ACTION

  • 4 minutes to complete a boulder problem.
  • If a team fails to send a problem, their run ends.
    One of the two members must top the boulder within 4 minutes.
  • If the boulder is topped: no rest. The team moves straight to the next one.
    Managing time and energy is key to making it through qualifications!
  • Difficulty increases progressively — challenge yourself against top international athletes.

The competition is open to all, but a consistent climbing level is strongly recommended.

THE RULES

  • The prize money will be announced on September 5, 2025, and will be split between the winning men’s and women’s teams.
  • Only one winning team per category — the arena competition is ruthless.
  • The running order will be shared the day before (November 14, 2025).
  • First start: November 15 at 8:00 AM. Last start: 4:30 PM.
  • Finals at 7:30 PM — book your spot to attend!

THE CLIMBING EVENT YOU CAN’T MISS

The Team Boulder Arena (TBA) is the bouldering competition that’s redefining the climbing event game.
With its original format, it stands out for its team-based approach — where each duo of climbers faces increasingly difficult problems while managing the pressure together.

The concept is simple: one climber climbs while the other supports and coaches. Each team has 4 minutes to top the boulder — go over, and it’s elimination. Even tougher, in the finals, the first boulder is sudden death: if one climber fails, the whole team is out.

A ruthless rule that keeps athletes under constant pressure, where every fall could mean the end of the road. TBA is designed to be accessible, yet delivers rare intensity, with no second chances. This unique format attracts both seasoned climbers and those who might hesitate to enter more traditional comps, thanks to its friendly vibe and team spirit.

A community-driven event: shaped by the intimate setting of Climbing District Buttes Chaumont, camaraderie and adrenaline combine to create an electric atmosphere… A true “Boiler Room”.

Leading partner brands, like Arc’teryx, help deliver a unique experience to both participants and the climbing community in an exceptional venue.

The must-attend event for all climbing enthusiasts.
