Title: Austrian Summer Climbing Series
Post by: GraemeA on July 16, 2020, 12:22:19 pm
For those of you who need their fix, there is a series of comps in Austria with athletes from Austria, Switzerland and Germany. They are streamed on Youtube

Cheers Graeme, I was meaning to start a thread about this. I quite enjoyed the comp last week, obviously not as exciting as a world cup as there is such a huge difference in how good 1st place and 10th place are - so the margins are a lot greater. Looking forward to catching up on todays comp this evening.

Cheers for the thread G!

Watched last week's Ws the other night, will catch up on Ms and this week's stuff in time.

Great to have the comp streams back and even have Boscoe's chirpy voice soothing out eardrums. The comp seemed well-organised and smoothly run in the new normal, and despite the lack of crowd the enthusiastic commentary and good climbing excitement made up for it.

Caught up on last week's too. Great stuff, plenty of exciting moments, really well done comps. Anna is a top co-commentator. There were even some rat crimps involved. Also Petra's big guns + big grin combo  :wub:

Yes, weather is pretty bad by the looks of it. Not sure how they will manage on the outdoor wall there...

Well it was fine despite the weather, and next time they even had an outdoor, socially distanced crowd.

Two good comps for men and women on the Lead routes, the winner dominating the first men's was maybe the highlight. Good climbing all round and a good watch.

There's a combined one....errr....later in September I think.
