SLABFEST ’26: THE SEARCH FOR THE GOAT

We’re on the search for the slab GOAT, and it could be you…

On Saturday, April 18th, Slabfest comes to CroyWall once again, for a day of balance, technique, and slabby sends.

Here’s how you can get involved…

SlabFest: What’s the deal?

• When?: Saturday 18th April, from opening (9am)
• Where?: CroyWall, South London’s green machine
• How to get here: Overground Line and mainline trains to East or West Croydon, bus and tram stops nearby, and local parking available
• Pricing: Scorecards cost just £5 on the day, plus your standard day pass entry (memberships and punches can be used on the day).
• Spectators: £2 spectator tickets available on the door (members get in for free)

SlabFest is one of our most unique comps, with a day focused entirely on a single discipline; slab climbing.

We see slab as the great equaliser, and SlabFest reflects that, with a gender-inclusive format that pools everyone together in an open category.

Alongside our slab competition, there’ll also be challenges, a boot demo with La Sportiva, and plenty of fun and games happening around the centre.

Timings

Qualifying kicks off when we open at 9am, running until 4:30pm, with workshops running alongside (more on those below).

Finals start at 6pm.

Prizes

• 1st: £250
• 2nd: £125
• 3rd: £70

The Masterclasses, with Catalyst Climbing

We’ve teamed up with LCC Coaching Partners Catalyst Climbing to deliver two fantastic masterclasses during SlabFest, focusing on pure slab technique as well as dynamic movement.

Booking is now open for these, so grab your spot while you can! Each session lasts for 90-minutes with a spot costing £60.

Capacity is limited and last year these booked out quickly, so get yours while you can!
