TARTU JUNIOR

CLIMBING OPEN

 

Tartu Junior Climbing Open is Ronimistehas’s most significant event of the year and has already become the largest youth climbing festival in this part of Europe! Each year the Tartu Junior Climbing Open brings together over 220 children of different nationalities (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, Norway, Georgia, Turkey, Poland). In 2026 TJCO will take an innovative step — while keeping the festival format participants know and love, where every competitor tests themselves in both bouldering and rope climbing, this time we will also hold finals for all age groups! We’re excited, full of ideas and energy to take the event to the next level! See you at the Tartu Junior Climbing Open 2026 festival!
