Bloc Party 2011

On 11th June, City Bloc in Leeds held its annual summer bouldering comp and despite the amazing sunny weather, there was a decent turnout in the mens open competition with 5 British team members and eventual winner and local beast Tom Newman in attendance.

Due to a lot of people being on holiday or committed to family events after turning out at Manchester the previous weekend, only Shauna, Rich, Michael and Mike managed to get there.

The 40 problems were the same for everyone regardless of category and ranged from very easy to super hard world cup style.

Michael did well in the Under 16's finishing in 2nd place on 311 behind Nathan Phillips who would have been joint 7th in the adults category!

In the Adult Male, Rich finished 7th on 357 (missing joint 4th and a final berth by 3 points) and Mike came joint 13th on 320.

As expected, Team Hangar beastette Shauna finished in first place in the Adult Female scoring an impressive 347 points in the qualifiers and then completing all 3 of the final problems for a comfortable victory.
