Should be a good watch. The crowds 'll be up for it no doubt.

wonder how much they'll pay me not to do a review of the Stella McCartney climbing shoes I got for the oldest child?

comps are always better with cwp commentating

[Moo]

I do like the top outs

[a dense loner]

Is the comp any good? I turned it off it was so shit and carried on reading Frankie Boyle instead

[Moo]

surprisingly good, blocs look hard and quite involved but no one looks like they are firing on full cylinders except maybe McCol

[Duma]

It's ok, think the format is a bit flawed I think as there's so much pressure to eliminate climbers on each prob so they can easily end up being too hard. mina on the dyno, then not wanting to jump down, akiyo mantelling, sean on m2 almost celebrating too early are all good moments so far.

"Akiyo graceful mantling skills"

That was close for the men!

[a dense loner]

Weird I've just had 2 txts saying that was the shittest comp they'd ever seen

[kelvin]

Crappiest ending ever, I hate speed climbing which is what it essentially came down to.

[Duma]

The format really is fucked, the problems have to be exactly the right level to make it work, but they're likely to end up too hard initially then too easy for the last one. And the music was appalling.

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned. Just watched this on replay, well the first two problems up to yet, not heard any shit music and it's by far the best camera work I've seen for a comp. Coupled with good commentary from cwp. To me one commentator who knows his stuff is the best way to go.

[dontfollowme]

Really good having CWP commentating as he knows the likely sequences.

Just watched the semi final highlights. The highlights themselves were shit but there were some seriously boss looking problems and MegMasc is a beast...
