For it’s fourth edition the city of Arnhem is once again the stage of the Flatlander Cup. Like last year the Flatlander Cup consists out of 2 disciplines; lead and boulder. There will both be specific rankings for lead and boulder, as well as a combined overall ranking. Like last year the competition will have an international character; youth climbers of all nationalities are welcome to participate. Last year we hosted about 100 competitors from throughout Europe. The following categories will be differentiated: Juniors, Youth A, Youth B and Youth C. Mammut and La Sportiva are once again our main sponsors; they will provide a prize package with a value of € 4000 !
The Flatlander Cup is a two-day-event. We offer climbers and their companions the possibility to stay the night at a camp site. The overnight stay at the camp site is including a breakfast on the sunday morning. Please refer to the information sheet for more information.
Format
During the Flatlander Cup both bouldering and lead climbing will be featured. You can compete in either one or both, as there will be seperate rankings and a combined ranking lead/boulder.
