Pole Climbing Demos & Championships

The highlight of the Forestry Area is undoubtedly the World Pole Climbing Championships where competitors from across the country scale huge poles as fast as possible. The current record of 8.8 seconds was set at the show.

You can even have a go at scaling them yourself, but be warned – it’s harder than it looks!
