Slabfest 2026

Thank you so much to everyone who took part in Slabfest 2026 and proved that the slab-only format is here to stay!

It was amazing to see climbers from all across the Netherlands and international athletes come together to push the limits of slab climbing and share their passion for it.

A huge congratulations to all the finalists as well. Having men and women compete side by side on the same boulders is truly something special. What a show, and thanks to the crowd for bringing the energy!
