It’s that time again and next week it’s the turn of the Rock Room here at Craggy2 for a reset by our lovely set of setters…

ably assisted by Mike ‘I’m a Pantene man myself’ Hadcocks

As usual they’ll be creating another room full of fiendishly lovely problems across the four days. The room will be closed for public climbing each day until approx 18:30′ish, though we’ll endeavour to get it open asap.

This therefore means it’s the final round of our hotly contested Winter Boulder League on Thursday 26th April – see you there!

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!

’twas another great set by our lovely setters and a fun night of Boulder Leagueing was had by all. The medium category is being hotly contested and it all looks very close at the top of the other two categories as well:

So it’s all to play for going into Round 3 on Thursday 22nd March 2012 in the Comp Room! All the info can be found on the Craggy Island Facebook events page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/387594731268402/

Not forgetting that there will be a La Sportiva demo on the night as well – can’t think of a better way to try out new shoes than on new problems!

After much debate over whether this should really be the Winter rounds of the Craggy2 Boulder League we’ve decided to post the results and probably not worry too much about whether it’s Winter or Spring!

So the first round results out of the four Winter/Spring rounds are:

Execellent stuff from all the competitors and interesting to see a tie at the top. Round 2 will be on Thursday 1st of March 2012. See you there for another fun night of competion!
