Saturday gone saw the first round of the Northern Indoor Bouldering League held between 6 walls (The Hangar, The Works, Climb Newcastle, City Bloc, West View and Rockover).
There were seperate problems for the Male Seniors and the rest of the categories. Some problems were shared by all with the stiffer ones solely for the Men's comp.
There was a good turnout, a lot of banter and a bit of money raised from t shirt sales to help Andy Earl with his rehab treatment.
After the dust had settled Rich managed 7th in a fairly strong Mens field as did Laura in the Womens, both narrowly missing out on 6th (the top 6 climbers from a minimum of 5 rounds are due to compete in a super final at the last competition in Manchester). Becki took 9th place and Andy won the Vets category.
Our juniors faired a bit better with Michael winning the boys, Charlie 2nd and Dean in 4th. In the girls Megan and Olivia tied for 2nd place just behind the strong lass from up Newcastle way.
I think a few of us managed to fall off a fair few easier problems and could have done better, so hopefully we can be more competitive at future rounds in the seniors and our juniors can keep up the good results!
