Firdays display of finesse, technique and determination was a testament to the North East climbing scene! With almost 70 compeititors the wall was busy with folks itching to get on the problems.
As always it began weeks before the comp date with prepping of holds, volumes and inspiration for problems. This month it included some new additions to the bouldering wall and the beginning of a re-paint.
A setters delight at 01:30 in the morning!
The problems as always ranged from the fun and wackey to the technical and powerful across the main walls and bouldering wall. Special mention should go to those battling through ilness (you know who you are).
