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…

Mark ‘locks’ Croxall*

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!

A quick reminder that we are resetting the Rock Room here at Craggy2 on Monday 27th of February through to Thursday 1st of March 2012.

The Rock Room will be shut during the day for climbing whilst Mark and his merry men (+ Danie!) do their stuff, but we’ll endeavour to get it open again by 18:30 – 19:00 each day*

So that means the Thursday 1st March is Winter Boulder League Round 2 from 18:30 – see you there

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!

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!
