Bouldering League 08/09 Round 1 Results and aftermath

Well,

With over 60 competitors Friday's comp was a great success. All of the comp routes will be kept up until the next round on 7th November (they're marked in red on the route board). New problems have been put up over the weekend; so get down and give them a go!

All problems got sent on Friday which was a boost since there were some courageous fighting against the seemingly easier problems spitting the climbers off! Photo's can be found on the Transition Climbing Facebook page as its easier to throw lots and lots of photo's onto as well as folks leaving comments on them... http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1537692485&ref=profile

Points were typically a maximum of 200 but with a bonus problem this year many managed to pick up some well earned extra's! Well done to all and we look forward to setting you some more interesting, fun and challenging problems!
