12.00 o'clock ........ GO

Midday on Saturday over 50 climbers started the winter bouldering series entitled "The Ruckus". This year a change of format was in order so 30 routes were set, VB to V10, and with only 3hrs to attempt to climb as many as possible!

A packed room at the start of the comp

Points were awarded for a flash 10pts, second go 7pts and if you managed to climb the route within the 3hrs 5pts.

There were climbers from all over South Wales taking part and although it was packed a great fun atmosphere hung in the room for the duration of the comp with juniors battling it out along side hardcore bouldering specialists.  

Simon Robinson climbing well on one of the harder routes

Some amazing climbing took place with the juniors really showing that height is not the limiting factor, Noah Broome 'Free styling' his way  up one reachy problem and im guessing but he is not 5ft yet!

Nickie climbing well to finnish 3rd

I would like to thank everyone who took part for making a great day, and making it all worth while I hope to see you all again in March for round 2 & 3 and there will be some big surprises for the next rounds.

Happy climbing
