The Challenge
One metre for every Australian living with T1D.
Around 130,000 Australians live with type 1 diabetes. From Monday 9 to Saturday 14 November, climbers across all three Beyond Bouldering venues will log their climbs in the Griptonite app, adding metres to one shared community total.
We finish on Saturday 14 November, World Diabetes Day. Our goal is 130,000 metres. Every climb counts, whatever your grade. The climber who logs the most climbs across the week wins a prize.
