This year’s climbing competition at JACKALOPE Montréal 2025 was nothing short of spectacular.
Powered by the expertise of Allez Up, our major partner Arc’Teryx and the contagious energy of the crowd, the bouldering comp brought together international stars, talented local athletes, and a passionate audience for an unforgettable celebration of climbing culture.
Estelle from Allez Up described this year’s competition as both smooth and exhilarating:
“It’s always impressive to see international climbers we only get to meet at JACKALOPE, like Joe Goodacre, Cloe Coscoy, Sienna Kopf, and at the same time appreciate the talent of our local athletes such as Babette Roy and Hugo Dorval. What’s most incredible is the camaraderie and kindness that exists between them.”
The crowd was also a show in itself, elevating every moment of the finals:
“The energy during the finals was spectacular. You could feel the entire crowd vibrating as one, and every top came with an explosion of emotion.”

Le speed bouldering a également offert son lot de surprises. Si tout le monde s’attendait à voir Joe Goodacre décrocher la victoire (lui qui excelle dans cette discipline) le sort en a décidé autrement. Une glissade en finale a ouvert la porte à Martin Dufour, qui a saisi l’occasion pour s’imposer brillamment.
In the men’s speed finals, everyone expected Joe Goodacre to take the win (speed is his domain). But a slip on a key move gave Martin Dufour the chance to shine, securing an unexpected yet brilliant victory.

More than just a comp, JACKALOPE Montréal serves as a true meeting point for climbers:
“It allows some to meet international athletes, others to enter their very first competition, or even take their first steps in climbing on the Arc’Teryx initiation wall. It’s truly a gathering point for everyone.” says Estelle.
With skateboarding and climbing side by side, JACKALOPE creates bridges between two vibrant communities, making Montréal’s Old Port the epicenter of urban sports energy.
