Winter League 2010 2011 Round 1 Results

What a brilliant night Friday turned out to be with 65 competitors all ready for action after a good summers climbing antics.

As usual we have six categories (Male Elite, Female Elite, Junior Boys, Junior Girls, Veterans and Fun).  All but Fun receive a league position and league prizes at the end of the five rounds.

Unfortunately no-one managed an ascent of Duncan's Dilemma for the £30 cash prize; although a few came close reaching the last hold and looking confident!

Thanks and well done to all for coming along and giving the problems a good seeing to!
