Christmas will come early for Craggy2 as we get the company of our merry route setting elves next week in the Rock Room.

They’ll be hard at work setting from Monday 19th through to Wednesday 21st of December. So if you’ve any projects left in the Rock Room then now is the time to come down and finish them off in preparation of a whole room full of new routes!

A new set also means it’s time for Boulder League – so see you on Thursday 22nd December for the last comp of the year with festive prizes. For more details see the Craggy Island Facebook site. The unconfirmed reports that our very own Luke will be dressing up as Santa for the night are completely unfounded…

Twas a night of foggy fun at Round 3 of Craggy 2′s very own Boulder League. So without further ado here’s the current scores:

Well done to all the competitors and it’s looking like the hard category will go to the wire with 3 people battling it out for the coveted top spot. Round 4 is only a few weeks away on Thursday 22nd December. Rumour has it that there might even be mince pies…. see http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/176525855775925/ for more details.

Round 1 of the Southern Indoor Bouldering League comes to Craggy2 (Sutton) on Sunday 16th of October 2011!

SIBL is a fun series of competitions that runs throughout the South of England each year.  It is aimed at climbers of all standards with grades starting at V0 (font 3+).  The Round held at Craggy2 each year is one of the most highly regarded rounds, both for the quality of the venue and also for the quality of the route setting.  This year we’ve got Mark Croxall setting the problems again so there is sure to be the usual variety of weird and wonderful for climbers of all grades to contend with!

Is SIBL just for serious competitors?
No! The beauty of SIBL is that it’s open to all and whilst still having a competitive serious side everyone has the chance to win with spot prizes awarded through out the day. Also, you’re guaranteed a great atmosphere with climbers of all abilities trying to solve the problems. It’s a fun day out, above and beyond anything else.

How do I get involved?
It’s really simple, you can either pay for entry on the day, which is £15.00 for seniors or £10.00 for juniors or pre-register for all 6 rounds at http://www.sibl.co.uk/register_2008.htm and get 1 round for free! If you are not competing you can still come down to Craggy2 and watch as the comp unfolds. Registration starts at 9:30 with the juniors comp starting at 11:00 and seniors at 12:00.

Anything else I need to know?
Craggy2 will be closed for public climbing until 17:00 on the day, with the comp routes being opened up for climbing straight after the awards ceremony. For full details about SIBL see www.sibl.co.uk

Over here in blustery Sutton we are having some resurfacing works done on our car park. It will be shut for the day and will re-open this evening. In the meantime if you are coming for a climb please park in the golf club bays – there’s tons of space!

Thanks,

Gareth

PS If it gets to this sort of level of lack of space we’ll let you know ;0)
