The comp wall is being re-set this week so that means that it is time for Round 2 of the leading league. There will be some competition routes up from tonight, 7th March and all routes will be up by Friday 9th March. The competition will finish 6 weeks later on the 20th April. It will run with the same format as the last round with 5 routes per category.
Although it is a competition it is definitely not all about winning. Taking part in a competition is a great way to improve your climbing and give you a focus when down at the wall, it will also give you something to work towards in between each competition and will be a great way to compare your progress in between the comp wall sets.
Rules
- You can have as many goes on each route as you like but the less goes that you complete the route in, the more points that you get. A maximum of 100 points per climb is awarded for those who complete the route on their first go.
-An ascent counts as climbing the route from the bottom to the top, clipping all the quickdraws on the way and without sitting/resting on the rope.
- If you fall off an attempt you should ideally lower straight down to the ground and not practice any of the moves higher up.
- This is a fun competition and we are leaving it up to you to mark your own scorecards and be honest with how many attempts it has taken you.
- There are 5 different categories and prizes will be awarded to the winners of each, with spot prizes given out to those who we deem have tried the hardest!
Scorecards cost just £1.50 or free if you are a 3 star member, plus your normal entry and it is then up to you to keep hold of your scorecard and log each ascent. At the end of the 6 weeks or when ever you have finished you just had your scorecard in and we add it up.
The categories are as follows; Male, Female, Junior (Under 16) and Veteran (40+) which range from grades 5+ – 7A and a special Elite category which has climbs between 6C – 8A.
We are also pleased to announce that Wild Country have agreed to sponsor this round so there will be some great prizes up for grabs. Check them out here www.wildcountry.co.uk
