For anyone who has been invited to join the Scottish Development or National Squads for 2023-2024

This End of Year social brings both squads, coaches, parents/guardians and ClimbScotland staff together for one final climb together after a busy year. There will be a mixture of ClimbScotland coaches (Both Development and National) for coaching at a 1:4 ratio, with a more of a relaxed content and ability to reflect on the year gone by, and start to plan towards next year.

One of the biggest benefits of the squad programme throughout the years is it’s ability to bring together climbers, coaches, parents and guardians from around Scotland into a single venue. Bringing together this community in itself has a huge amount of benefits. Climbing with friends can push us out of our  home comfort zones and help develop strong networks between climbers, parents and coaches. Our resilience as people and our development in climbing is often a reflection of who we surround ourselves with. We hope by creating and developing opportunities for bringing people together we can build a climbing community that benefits everyone.
