I am happy to report that the first Hope Valley Adventure Film Festival (HVAFF) was a resounding success and saw a very good turn out! We at Highball had great feedback for our freestanding wall that were set-up as part of the bouldering comp taking place that day. We had 6 of the 30 problems set on our walls, with some testing even the most accomplished climbers at the event.
Judging by the turn out of the inaugeral event, next years HVAFF will be on not to miss!
Highball Climbing is involved with some great events local to the Sheffield area, the line up for Febuary and March includes Hope Valley Adventure Film Festival and SHAFF on the Edge, see the events section for all the details!

We are very pleased to announce that we are this years Enterprise Challenge Competition winners.

The final itself was a Dragons Den style pitch where the 6 teams went to head to impress the panel of judges...
