Imst Youth Colors Trip (May)

^{Youth Climbing Colors Festival}

^{The YCCF is an international competition held in Imst (Austria) every year. The competition itself has been organised by Helmut Knabl (owner of Kletterhalle Imst – the Imst climbing wall) for a number of years now and has provided a great amount of experience for young climbers taking their first steps into the international climbing competition scene. The competition is only open to those climbing in the Youth Categories D and C (Born 2000-2003).}

^{This trip will take the form of a Team Trip to compete in the event as well as a following week of training and climbing with the Youth D and C Austrian Team climbers and coaches. Kids involved in this trip will benefit from valuable competition experience as well as building friendships with climbers who will be no doubt competing in European level competitions in Youth B-Junior, so for those kids who might go on to do this at a later stage, it would be great for them to be entering future competitions with already a good understanding of what to expect. Coupled with the fact that they will already know young climbers from other countries competing, this will further aid their transition into international competitions.}

^{Over the years, a number of young British climbers have competed in this event and gained a lot from it. This includes:}
