ROUND 3 | WINTER BOULDER LEAGUE
January 29, 2019 1:31 pmContents:
The Atmosphere
Well, what a collection of scores from all of those who competed! Some pumped climbers getting back into the flow of their climbing groove and crushing the problems Max Ayrton has set!
With the majority of the blocs on the Squad Zone, we saw a nice busy comp area! A high scoring round for most, with everyone making most of the problems look easy!
Of course they can’t all be super easy, so Max threw in some big sandbag problems! Some trying alternative Beta, especially on the green Blocs Volume slap bang in the middle of the vertical section.
‘Rate my Gurn’ took place on the corner problem of the Squad Zone
Attacking The Blocs
Max Ayrton was in the building setting the penultimate round of this years Winter Bouldering League, we’re proud that these guys who compete within our Big Flash Festival come back to set for us! Being only his 2nd time setting for us here at Highball, he may have slightly underestimated how strong you guys are! Especially as we are in ‘the flatlands’, but you guys crushed! A nice array of problems across the board for this round, plenty to keep yourself warm on throughout the colder months.

Wrap Up For Round 3
Hannah Whaley crushing the female competitors and Garry Smith just holding on from Aaron Porter snapping at his heels, closely followed by Benjy Wilcock again keeping that pressure on Aaron and Garry to not drop any moves! With this round being a high scorer some of you guys have been saying to expect a hard set for the final round next month. I won’t be giving anything away but we would recommend some rest beforehand.
John Golder won the jackpot this week. Another collection of awesome raffle prizes from our sponsors Snowfit, DMM Climbing, Scarpa and Friction Labs, with Gwynne Braidwood claiming the ‘tea towel’, which was technically a Buff Beanie.
