comps comps and more comps

Since the last blog everything seems to have been about the comps.

First up was the CWIF (Climbing Works International Masters). City Bloc managed to put a team together with Martin and Ben miraculously getting away from the Bloc on the same day (cheers Tom). Rachel and City Bloc junior team member Nathan Phillips finished the team. We had a great day out, big thanks to the Climbing Works for putting on a great event.

As the CWIF attracted many foreign competitors, there were a lot of international super stars hanging around in the UK for a few days afterwards wanting to climb on the gritstone. Unfortunately the weather turned out to be poor(what a shocker), which drove them indoors, and on Thursday the whole Austrian and Dutch international climbing teams showed up at the Bloc. This was great to see as they went around the climbing wall dispatching pretty much everything in sight. (and that was just the female members). We will post some pics in due course.


On Friday 26th, the final round of Boulder Leeds was held at The Depot and the overall series winners where announced with Dave Buchanan and Charlotte Telfer taking the male and female titles respectively. So well done to those and also well done to Nathan who won the junior title with a score that would have been very highly placed in the mens category.
We would also like to say a big thanks to The Leeds Wall, and The Climbing Depot for their partnership in the Boulder Leeds Series over the last 6 months.

Finally, (phew) we are re-setting next week so get your skates on and get those unclimbed problems finished off.

Comp and new probs

March has already arrived, cant believe another month has passed.

Thanks again to everyone who came to the competition, there was something for everyone, tears, laughter and crushing.
Anyhow, more problems have been added to the competition wall and half of the other bay has been set, the remainder to be done on Monday so plenty to keep you occupied.

If your struggling on some of the problems here is a little vid for some beta.
