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!

We have a jam packed week of route setting taking place from this Monday!

There will be new routes popping up all over the place so lots to keep you busy.

Mark will be in all week setting at various locations around the centre but mainly the top ropes and Mikey will be joining in the fun on Monday and Wednesday for the traverse wall and auto belays.

A full list of what panels will be set and when will appear on Monday, but what you can count on is a lot of the usual weird and wonderful creations from the dynamic duo!

We have a jam packed week of setting going on at the moment with several areas of the centre having a summer set! Here is the propsed plan of action for this week and the following:

Monday 15th – Lines 13 – 16 (Setter Mark)

Tuesday 16th – Lines 17 – 20, 69 – 70 (Setters Mark and Graeme)

Wednesday 17th – Lines 24 – 28 (Setter Mark)

Thursday 18th – Boulderwall (Setters Mark and Mikeee)

Friday 19th – Lines 73 – 78, 58 – 60 (Setters Mark, Ben and Graeme)

Thursday 25th – Lines 21 – 23 (Setters Mikeee)

That works out at Approximatley 72 new Top ropes/leads and 42 new boulder problems!

With all of the setting going on it does mean that some areas of the centre will be out of action while the setting is taking place but we will aim to keep disruption to a minimum and have everything finshed and ready to climb by the evening!

Also due to popular demand for more lead routes we are converting lines 16 and 61 from top ropes to leads as well this week, so there should be plently to keep you busy!

Enjoy!

We have a lot of route setting coming up in the next couple of weeks starting with this coming Monday 6th June. The week’s antic will include the following areas being reset:

Routes 7 – 9 (Steep lead walls opposite the traverse wall)

Routes 19 – 20 (Steep lead walls near woody)

Routes 80 – 86 (Top Ropes closest to changing area)

As well as all of these being changed, the Boulder wall will also be having a reset on Thursday when Mark joins forces with the ever keen Mikey for problems galore!

The traverse wall will then be getting a reset on the 23rd June followed by the Auto Belays the week after on the 30th June.

Enjoy!
