Bloc Party 2021

BLOC PARTY RETURNS

SATURDAY 30TH OCTOBER 2021

Our last Bloc Party, which was in fact our 10th Bloc Party to date, was all the way back in 2019 just before the year which shall not be named! Although, the silver-lining to 2020 for City Bloc was that it gave us the space & time to remodel the centre to not only provide a top-level climbing experience for climbers of all natures day-in-day-out, but to throw parties like this Saturday 30th October 2021. This year was the first ceremonial event in the new Comp Room, which was built with epic comps like this Saturday in mind!

Our mission with Bloc Party is to go bigger and better every year and we truly believe that everyone involved played their part in making this happen once again. Over 150 people stepped through our doors for a fun day of competitive and good spirited-climbing, trying their shot at becoming the Bloc Party 2021 Champion!

Eagerly, everybody grabbed their scorecard and free t-shirt and got cracking at 30 problems – the energy of the room was electric. We loved seeing everybody taking part for the fun of it and those who basically flashed their ways into the semi-finals.

The top 12 climbers from the male and female categories went head-to-head on matching problems to determine their place in the final or not. For the full results, see below:
