The Scratching Post Challenge 2023

Who’s up for the Challenge?

Anyone who’s ever seen their cat take on a scratching post knows what good climbers they are, but what about you? If you were faced with a 21 metre wall, could you climb as good as your cat?!

 

We’re so happy to bring our Scratching Post Challenge back for 2023! A big thank you to Rokt Foundation in Brighouse for hosting us again.

 

On Friday 14th April, we’re inviting the thrill seekers who are ready to take on Yorkshire’s highest indoor climbing wall – with an added abseil thrown in for those who dare!
