The Competition

Crackathon is a free, unaffiliated and informal competition for all our friends in the crack and offwidth community. The competition takes place throughout the summer within which time contestants can independently film and submit entries to the given categories. This will allow for work commitments, poor weather and holidays to not be a barrier for entry. Furthermore, challenges can be completed anywhere in the world as long as they are climbed outdoors. We hope this will give everyone plenty of opportunity to get outside and give it a go!*
