Round 3 of Craggy2′s ever popular Winter Boulder League took place last night with a fun night of climbing had by all, with the added bonus of the La Sportiva boot demo. It was the usual mix of great success combined with some real ‘sandbags’ across all categories – Dom’s traverse in particular only being completed by a handful of climbers.

So here’s the results:

Well done to all those who took part and we’ve got a provisional date for your diaries of 26.04.2012 for the final round.

Tommy Harris and Darren Stevenson – both of you have prizes to collect from reception!

On Sunday 25th March Craggy Guildford will be hosting the Vertical Mile in support of Sport Relief 2012.

All monies raised on the day will go to Sport Relief so you can be sure that your hard work will get to those it’s intended for.

A mile is 1609 metres…  Maybe that doesn’t sound a lot to you if you’re a super hero… but In vertical terms, that’s 201 ascents of our top-rope walls here at Craggy which is certainly no walk (or run!) in the park!

Participants can either complete their mile as an individual (?!) or as part of a team.  There will also be the opportunity for members of the public with no previous experience of climbing to get involved on the day with their very own mile to contribute to!

Details of the day and information on how to register for the event can be found here!

Right, time to get training I reckon!

Hi all,

A heads up if you are coming to Craggy2 over the next few weeks and will be arriving by car from a Southerly direction.

The section of the A2022 from slightly East of the junction with the A217 and the roundabouts at the Southern end of Woodmansterne Road will have roadworks commencing from Monday 19th March 2012 for a total of 9 weeks. The road will be open but subject to traffic light control as traffic will be restricted to a single carrigeway.

This may cause lengthy delays in both directions on the A2022 especially at peak traffic times so please look to take alternative routes – thankfully there a few!
