So whats coming up in 2012 for City Bloc. Well first up some of you may have noticed the steep looking board upstairs in the gallery, this is our new training board.
If you look closely at the pic you will see that the board is symmetrical. The idea being once you complete a problem you then complete the symmetrical version thus ironing out any weakness in your armour. Brilliant! The holds have been supplied by the beastie boys aka www.Beastmaker.co.uk. Now these guys love their wood and have crafted some beauties for us. For those not in the know wood is absolutely great to train on as its super kind on your skin so no trashed tips before heading to the crag. The fact that its quite smooth also means you grip just that bit harder so strength gains are inevitable;)
For those who enjoy nothing more than just lazying around dangling from their fingertips the fingerboard has also been moved upstairs to the gallery. Keep your eyes open on this area in the near future for further developments.
Competitions:
The 3rd round of NIBL (Northern Indoor Bouldering League) is at City Bloc on Saturday 14th January. Registration is at 11am with the comp starting at 12pm. 25 problems for men and women ranging from 6b to 7b+.

Finally, the City Bloc team would just like to say thank you to everyone who came down over 2011 and look forward to a crushing 2012;)
