With Steve on the mic the finals promised to be entertaining. Llinos Cassidy looked to have secured first place after flashing the first 2 problems but was thwarted by the devilishly tricky final problem. Charlotte Warner topped the female standings with 3 tops in 4 attempts, Llinos Cassidy finished second with 2 tops in 5 then Heather Ogsten in third.
In the Men’s final the technical slab problem of problem no 1 immediately split the finalists with Adam Watson flashing, Ben West taking it on his second attempt and it succumbing to Max’s prowess on his third go. Adam went on to flash the final 2 problems and take the victory.
| 1st | Adam Watson | 1st | Charlotte Warner |
| 2nd | Ben West | 2nd | Llinos Cassidy |
| 3rd | Max Aryton | 3rd | Heather Ogsten |
