On the men's side, Sean doing m3 was absolutely nuts. Gelmanov came close to getting there at the buzzer, but didn't quite get make it and no one else figured out the beta.
Just read that the Austrian nationals were on Saturday too. Slightly unfortunate scheduling clash if the aim is to attract top international talent.
Post CWIF action on the grit has been sporadic, although Sean McColl and Jorg Verhoeven both did Gaia today - it was Sean's first route on grit.... oh, and I shot Jerry Moffatt with a starting pistol at Stanage. Nobody was injured, but I am now slightly deaf in my right ear.
Hey Percy, one thing I thought was about the qualifiers, from a punter's point of view... I entered a few years ago and had a wicked time doing and trying lots of problems. This time it seemed that the standard and jumped a lot and there were very few I could do, or even engage with. Someone suggested that this might be because I'm older, but I don't see how that could be true?

One option would be to throw in 5 extra hard problems (with double points?) in the quals with climbers having the option to try those rather than the 5 easiest?
The people who any same person thought would get to the final got to the final, nothing needs changing
Can you still watch the finals online?

Grimers maths was never his strong point when he scored 310 out of 300, suspicions were raised
