The championships are supported by the British Mountaineering Council and the Royal British Legion, who are keen to show they're not just a charity for elderly veterans. See the results below:

• Flying Officer Dan Heath scooped first place in the advanced men's category, with Flight Lieutenant Chantal Edwards taking it for the women.
• Bouldering was won by Corporal Lee Thistleton and Flight Lieutenant Sophie Foxen.
