Ruckus 2011/12
OK some of you have already been asking and yes you are right, it is that time of year again. We have all started climbing more frequently indoors and are looking for new challenges to keep us in shape through out the winter. Well look no further than our ever popular winter Bouldering Series entitled ‘The Ruckus’. This year we will as before hold 3 rounds over 3 months challenge all climbers from the newbies to the pro’s.
Each round will consist of 30 Problems for climbers to get there teeth into with a theme for each round (more info on this closer to the time ). Climbers have 3 hours to have as many attempts as possible to try and climb as many of the 30 problems as they can. Scores are awarded depending upon how many attempts each problem takes (self scoring)
Your final event score will be a total of your 3 round scores (entrants must take part in all 3 rounds to be considered for title)
The comps are a great way to improve your bouldering by trying new challenges but also by seeing others climb the same problems unlocking clues of how to complete each bloc.
categories for the event will be as follows
8-10
11-13
14 – 16
17 +
Veterans
Male and Female in all Categories
under 16′s will start at 10.30 and have 3 hrs to attempt all problems with the adults and vet’s starting at 12.30 (also having 3 hours)
The events are aimed at having fun and getting involved so it can be a great chance for the first time comp climber to have a go. Each round will cost £10 but climbers pre booking can pay £25 for the 3 (saving £5) ask at reception for details.
Dates for the comp are as follows
11th December 2011
22nd January 2012
19th February 2012
(anticipated grades for problems are between VB and V9)
Happy Climbing
