Tjoms in Arms
Hosted annually after the Friends and Allies Fables boulder league, TIA brings setters from around the country to host a full day of climbing. TIA is unlike any other bouldering comp as you compete in teams of two, with 30 qualifying problems in the morning and a session styled final in the evening.
The Nitty Gritty
TIA is a team based event, so you have to climb and compete with a tjom. You can partner with anyone you like and, depending on who you choose, you’ll fall into one of three categories. We have guys climbing with guys, guys climbing with gals and gals climbing with gals.
When: September 27, 2025 (8:00- 23:00)
Where: Friends & Allies – 304 Tungsten Rd, Strydom Park
