One of our junior team members made a good bouldering breakthrough last Friday with an ascent of the super classic ribline of Lou Ferrino in Parisella's cave.
Michael has been trying this on and off over the last couple of months with infrequent trips and had gotten close numerous times but with the benefit of a double rest day, he dispatched it with consumate ease for his first problem at this grade!
May there be many more to come :)
WINTER COMPS
Michael also attended the Awesome Walls Winter bouldering league round 1 at Liverpool and finished top of the Junior category after a close battle with another of our juniors Dean. Rich and Laura both won the Senior Male and Female categories respectively.
The following day, young Michael was still at it, travelling over to Rockover in Manchester and taking first place in the Winter League Round 1. Charlie finished in 2nd place making it another good showing for our junior climbers.
HANGAR WINTER LEAGUE ROUND 1
The first round of our home wall winter bouldering series kicked off with a bang on 21st October with a big turnout and some good results for our team members.
In the adults category Rich managed 328/350 to finish in 2nd place from a dark horse who has never been seen or heard of before or since! Mike put in a decent show in 4th. In the womens Becki put in a strong showing to win with 238 and Laura took 3rd place.
In the juniors Michael won the boys with 295 (5th in Men's) and Charlie came in a comfortable 2nd. Megan won the girls with a score that would have put her 2nd in the seniors.
Hopefully everyone can keep it up over the next few events and we can all be in with a shout of holding a shiny trophy aloft come February! :)
