This year Joe Browns celebrates its 60th anniversary so to mark the occasion they are hosting the JB Big Tick Summer Climbing Challenge.
The JB Big Tick Summer Climbing Challenge is your chance to try some of North Wales' finest climbing and be in with the chance to win some great prizes (including SCARPA shoes).
The Joe Browns team have hand picked over 60 routes for you to enjoy the very best of North Welsh climbing; test yourself on a legendary Joe Brown route, immerse yourself on classic mountain climbs, head into new areas, try old classics or maybe even have a go at a new discipline - that’s the beauty of climbing; the rules are your own!
Choose from trad climbs full of stars (Diff - E3 6a), test yourself on sport routes (4+ - 7b) or crank on boulders (5 - 7b+) to enjoy a summer of rock right through until the end of September.
