The Meltdown
Once a year we reset the spray wall, and the strongest climbers in Joburg go head to head on it, round by round, until one is left standing. There are no judges. The crowd does the scoring, so come and make some noise.
- Finals Fri 4 Dec, 7pm
- Doors 5pm
- Watching free
No judges. You decide.
At the Meltdown the gees comes first and the rule book second. Think a climber has one more go in them? Shout loud enough and they might just get it. The louder the room, the better the night, and the better the climbing.
Last one standing wins
Last year's finalists
Six men and six women from last year's Meltdown are invited back to the finals.
Qualifiers
Six more spots are up for grabs. Climb the 12 qualifier boulders, and the top six go through to the finals.

Free, loud and packed
Rock up on Friday
Doors open at 5pm and the finals start at 7pm. Watching is free, there is no ticket to buy.
Bring your mates
We want the gym full to the walls. The more people in the room, the louder it gets, and the better the climbing.
Cheer them on
Grab a drink at the coffee shop and bar, find a spot near the wall and make some noise.
