Competitions

And the competitions just keep coming. This year four walls have decided to team up and make what is called the Sheffield Walls Bouldering League. As well as having their own comps, the scores of one round from each wall are all put together to get an overall Sheffield bouldering winner. The first round being held at the foundry, I came 2nd and the second round held at The Matrix I came 1st so at the moment I am the leading senior female for the league. Hopefully I will be able to do well in the next two rounds to be the overall winner. As well as that I’ve been entering the normal local rounds coming first again in The Climbing Works Berghaus Bouldering League. Also, visited the new wall in Newcastle to attend British Team training. Though having a comp on the Thursday and Friday before, by Saturday my arms were feeling what you would call tired! But having Sunday to rest I was back at a comp on the Monday!

Apart from that this month has mainly been working at The Works for me. Hopefully next year I will be getting away quite a lot and so saving the pennies over Christmas was my aim. Next month I’ll be off to Albarracin in Spain for a weeks bouldering on the stunning orange sandstone, then Chamonix in Febuary and Switzerland march! I’ll be posting pictures from my trips when I get back from them.

Hope your climbing’s going well…

Leah tried the problem on Saturday, and returned on Sunday morning for the successful ascent. Conditions in the Pass were icy cold, stopping all but the die-hard climbers from venturing out on to the rock.

Leah is enjoying a purple patch, having recently climbed several problems around the V9 mark, including an ascent of Ben’s Roof at Raven Tor (V10/Font 7c+) and Carnage Assis (V9/Font 7c) in Fontainebleau.
