💥 We’ve included guidance in the application form to help you determine whether you need a bursary.

💥 We recognise financial barriers to participation will affect a disproportionate number of climbers from various minoritised identities in the climbing community.
💥 There are 36 bursary tickets in total.
💥 We have ring-fenced 30 tickets, divided equally between the following minoritised groups: genderqueer and trans folk, racially minoritised groups, and disabled people.
💥 You don’t need to be part of the groups listed to apply for a general low-income bursary ticket.
💥 Our approach has been influenced by various groups working on outdoor equity and we particularly want to acknowledge Wanderers of Colour and Land In Our Names for helping with this.
💥 If you have a disability and require a non-climbing aid to come with you, your aid will be able to attend the festival for free. Please let us know if you require an aid to attend when you are booking tickets.
How to apply
➡️ Fill in the application form
➡️ Read the application form carefully. We estimate it should take around 10 minutes to complete.
➡️ Complete the form no later than 11:59pm on Tuesday 31st December
What happens after I’ve applied?
💥 Bursary tickets will be assigned by lottery to individuals who are eligible.
💥 We will contact all successful applicants by 7th January 2025.
💥 If you are successful, you will receive a discount code by email which you can use to order your festival ticket and any courses you wish to attend.
💥 Your code will be active for two weeks (before we open for general ticket sales). If it is not used by the end of this period, it will expire.
