I have been told problems will start at around
V4 with a significant portion being V6/V7 (mens).

Sponsers are ACME HIRE,
the north face, snow and rock and entre-prise.

The entry form says "please pre-register", probably
because it'll be busy.

See you there!

PS All the routes were changed on Monday for anyone
interested, including all the volumes as always.

BoulderUK is shut from today until Monday (inculsive). So back open on Tuesday.

They seem to have a lot of prizes for the raffles, including a belay device which is quite fitting for a boulder comp I thought! :lol:

It seems Percy hadn't made your buttocks sufficently sore enough ( :shock: ) to do worse than me!

Nice comp though, funny to watch people trying to undercut that cimney in the back room rather than crawl in it. In fact it was funny to watch anyone try that and I was laughing whilst I was doing it.

Those final problems looked hideous, I was looking at them thinking "They only seem to have put crappy foot holds on them". Good effort to everyone in the finals.

Post by: dobbin on March 22, 2004, 03:18:20 pm: My buttocks weren't sore as they should have been as I couldn't get the Buttock Jam at Percy's comp in, let alone do anything off it, however on Sunday I was still climbing like a wet dog and managed to get up 15 problems and only collect 138 points.

Good problems though. Grumble.

Mens:

1st : Tom Jennions
2nd : Ben West
3rd : Dan Bradley
4th : Ryan "Can't find matching shoes" Pasquill
5th : Mark Croxall
6th : Andy Earl

then, maybe:

Katie Mills
Sian Oxley

The womens was really close in the final, sorry I can't do better. :oops:

Tim won it for the Vets, but I can't remember any more than that, pretty useless really. Plus I might have got some of the surnames wrong!

Post by: dobbin on March 23, 2004, 12:40:44 pm: Naah, it was a knock out format final, the Earl climbed first and tried to toe on a screwy rather than heel it and got spat off so didn't get to try any more problems and hence came last.

This style of final will probably have suited young Tom too. He's a keen observer and after watching the rest of the guys attempt stuff he'd probably have had a good idea of what to do. Not to take away from a cracking result and a rise to comp prominence from nowhere, as he is strong and talented.

The Cassidy said he'd been training him, dunno what that means, but its fucking working. Can I have Cassidy coaching please?

Means being able to climb that boulderUK prow footless on crap pinches.

Post by: dobbin on March 23, 2004, 02:00:30 pm: You're probably right! thats where I have been going wrong, hanging out on boards instead of up there at Woodhouse! (plus, I have moved to Pudsey again, so its not so handy)
