Saturday 12pm, Bloc Party

That is the start time for Bloc Party 13 this Saturday 10th August.  You can of course turn-up later but will still only have until 3pm to attempt the 40 problems. 
 
The climbs will range from easy (pink climbs) to very hard (our notorious salmon climbs).  You will have 3 attempts on each climb, 1st try secures full 10 points, 7 for second and 4 for 3rd attempt. 

The top 5 men and women will then progress to our final which will start around 4.30pm.  Prize giving will follow the final for seniors and juniors (under 16). 

More info is available in our news section.

Summer Time

Its been a while since our last blog so we should start with a bit of a catch up.

The first and most obvious change is our new reception.  Im sure you will agree its much smarter and a more pleasant welcome upon stepping through the door.





Next on the reburb list is the matting.  The competition side will be receiving a complete overhaul with new foam and swanky green carpet top to keep your shoes clean.  When the old matting comes up we are going to use this opportunity to repaint the wall.  This will all be happening in the last week of June, keep your eyes peeled on our social media sites closer to the date.

Back for its 5th year is Bloc Party.  It will be slightly later this year due to the renovation of the matting, the 10th August to be precise.  Expect the usual standard of high quality problems from Ben and Martin  plus 'MC Smithers' on the mic;)

Finally, I hope you have all been supporting Team GB in their efforts in the Bouldering World Cup.  Simply login to http://www.ifsc-climbing.org/ to watch live coverage.  The next round is tomorrow from Innsbruck.
