Almost over…

Comp season not quite over so I thought I make a change and decided to travel down to London to do a comp at The Castle. Again it was a friendly comp and I don’t think they expected someone to travel down from Sheffield for it, but I really enjoy doing comps and especially when it’s somewhere new that I’ve not really climbed there before.

Really good comp and really good atmosphere. Overall good trip down south, I won the women’s and my friend who I went with came second in the guys. (Though if I’d have entered the guys I’d have come second overall.)

Berghaus Bouldering League

And finally the last round of the Berghaus Bouldering League and also the Sheffield Walls Bouldering League held at the Climbing Works. The usual crowds turned up for a good comp. The strong guys jumping straight on the men’s cash prize boulder for the first to complete and they set a women’s one this time as well but they set it on pinchy tufas through a roof so none of the women got it. Once again a good set by Percy and Sam.

I won this round as well which now makes The Berghaus Bouldering League 09 champion and it means I won the Sheffield Walls Bouldering League to so I am now Sheffield’s indoor bouldering Champion.

So now its down back to training and get stronger!! I’ve got a sport climbing holiday coming up in middle of march so I’m focusing on stamina training at the moment plus the Sky Masters which Berghaus sponsors as soon as I get back so….. Wish me luck!

Plastic Fantastic

To kick off February it was back to my old home wall in Nottingham for a friendly comp. I was good to see all my old friends again and go back to climbing on a resin covered wall, as most walls now are painted ply-board.

The comp consisted of Bouldering, leading, dyno and speed. When you had completed all of the categories, you handed your score card in to get them all added up. I won the senior females category. It was a very long and quite tiring day, but really good fun, and hopefully they’ll hold it again next year as well.

There’s a gallery of the comp here.
