After much debate over wether 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 onThursday 23rd of February 2012. See you there for another fun night of competion!
