The Ultimate Climb, Ladder Match

**The Ultimate Climb, Ladder Match is a multi-person ladder match held by the virtual professional wrestling promotion GCA. First contested at GCA's Ultimate Climb special event beginning in 2018. The prize in the match is a briefcase containing a contract for a championship match, which can be "cashed in" by the holder of the briefcase at any point in the year following their victory. If the contract is not used within the year of winning it, it will be invalid, but this has yet to happen.**

**The first match was contested in 2018 at The Ultimate Climb special event on March 18, 2018, after being invented by the Global Creations Alliance, Founder/President, Robert Ashcroft.**

## **Concept**

**The Ultimate Climb Ladder Match can feature anywhere from 6–8 participants, with the objective being to retrieve a briefcase that is suspended 20 feet above the ring.**
