Hardrock Junior Youth Titles 2025 Review

What an incredible day at our Junior Climbing Competition last weekend! The gym was absolutely buzzing with energy — lots of smiles, cheers and high vibes all around. From our youngest climbers tackling their first comp problems to our seasoned juniors showing off serious skill, it was a true celebration of the next generation of climbers.

The vibe was positive, supportive, and full of stoke — exactly what we love to see in our community. Parents, friends, and teammates were right there to cheer everyone on, creating an atmosphere that felt both electric and welcoming.

Our setters put up a fantastic range of routes that challenged balance, problem-solving, and determination, and our climbers rose to the occasion topping many of the routes.

After a full day of climbing, camaraderie, and a few well-earned snack breaks (RIP lollies), we wrapped up with the podium presentations. A huge congratulations to all participants — and special shoutouts to our top finishers in each category!

A massive thank-you to everyone who made this event possible — our setters, belayers, judges, scorers, parents, and especially our young climbers for bringing such great energy to the walls and giving it their all.

We’re already looking forward to the next comp day, next up: Youth Lead at Nunawading on Saturday the 22nd of November.
