just wondering if any ones going up to ratho this weekend for the uni boulder comp, should be a good laugh if there a decent crew of people up there.

I thought the old format was ok (definately better than blowing fat sweaty cock!). I think there will be a lot of people not getting to attempt all their problems with the new system. Im just hoping theres another big '6c' dyno :D

the thing with the old system is that ok the strongest always won, but in the middle standard it rewarded those that could estimate their abilty rather than who could boulder the hardest, which was rather wack.

Big '6C' dyno??? I could nearly static it and I'm a midget of Stu Littlefair proportions with a negative ape index.
The old format did indeed blow fat sweaty cock. How can someone who flashes a load of problems up to 5c beating someone who was doing 6c problems but failed on a couple of them be fair? (that's rhetorical I don't actually want to start off some discussion)
Anyway, I'm going up, and the uni is paying for flights, accomodation and hire car which is sweet.
Not sure I'm looking forward to the comp though with so few probs and so many people. Although should be no problem getting the beta for the harder probs.
Who's in the running for doing well? (apart from my fine self of course :wink: )

Thats true, the strongest will win this time too, but in the middle group it will be the people who can run the fastest between problems and queue jump successfully! And if everyone doesnt get a chance to use all their attempts then the clever people who didnt waste time on stuff they couldnt climb will do well (sound a bit like old format???)

Ah OK, so all that fuss about receivership doesn't affect you and me in the immediate future, they're just after a buyer then.

I was really keen to enter, but apparently I'm not allowed cos the guy organising it left it too late, and I'm not a 'regular'.
I haven't joined highpeak because every time I try to hook up with them, they strike me as less than friendly.... I may be a weird old bird, but just because I am a part-time post grad and can't always meet up with them on a Wednesday (I'm at work) it seems a bit unfair to exclude me.
See, I can whinge as good as any real student :!:

Yeah, what uni are you at?
I'm not even a member of my uni climbing club, and I have never been on a trip with them in two years, but they've still asked me to compete for them.
What makes you think there'll be some strong students this year Hardtofollow?

Just checked it out. Apart from the guys I know, I didn't see any names I recognised.
So who are the dark horses out of that lot that are going to flash everything?

except they splelt my name wrong
dave macleod of glasgow is competing, he is very good. flashed almost all the problems at last weeks scottish uni bouldering comp
does anyone know what the deal is with having a girl in your team? last year they said there must be at least 1 girl in each team but this year they didn't say that and there are some teams like aberdeen with all guy teams

to enter a 'team' under the team category it must be mixed guys and girls. If the team is all males or all females then all the members of the team are entered only in the individual category and do not count on the team competition

ok, but for aberdeen it has 'no team' written under it. i guess because they are all guys. but for the dundee team (which is all girls) it doesn't say that. is this sexism? or maybe they just didn't pick up on it.

an all girl team does qualify as "at least 2 biatch" rule. Maybe you should complain on ground of breach of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975.

In fact, sod the comp, I reckon it'll suck anyway.
I'm gonna spend the time taking photos of the sexiest student biatches there. Then for your viewing pleasure I will post the photos on this fine forum.

well it's good to see so many positive vibes, i've never been before or even bouldered in a comp so it shoulds be a good laugh. the team for wales is prittty solid but no really strong climbers. plus i'm shit at the moment Dave even beat me to the storm what more can i say....
. but i tell you what as long as we beat sheffield hallam and leeds it'll be worth the trip, bring it on!

I'd tried it in the summer briefly (you know, half assed goes every now and again) and go no-where near using a wack method, not being able to get me heel anywhere near the hold. then on a day off work a few weeks ago had a go on me own rocking onto the low pebble and touched the top. was no-where near again using that method on satdy then tried bonjoy's beyda and did it striaght off. Its a funny one! all i can say it matching the high crimp must make it so much easier to get the heel on.
basically i think for everyone there will be a random day where you'll just be able to do it easily for no apparent reason. The trick is to make sure you're there trying it on that day!

Well, anyway,
It'll be nice to say hello to you other ukb users. Come and say hello. You can recognise me by my bleach (white) blonde hair, usually in some kind of poor mohican stylee.
Also, I'll be blaming everything for my poor performance, instead of just admitting I'm a useless punter.
See you there.

Well,
I shan't be there, but my "biatch" as you fellows put it will be putting in an appearence with the rest of the exeter "posse". TH - if she turns up in your dodgy photo collection I'll be most dis-chuffed. And less of the "close spotting" too, young man.
