Our annual club climbing competition for 2010 has been scheduled for Wednesday the 1st of September adn it will be run at the Ledge with a start time of 6pm. Those who have been in previous years will know the format and know that the comp is a fun event for all levels of climber. Basically, there will be a number of challenges set on the climbing and bouldering walls of the Ledge with each challenge having a points value. There will be 2 hours of climbing where everyone gets to attempt the challenges and then you get to add up the best 6-8 (depending on what Phil says on the day) scores to get your total. Expect the challenges to be significantly different from the regular climbs and be prepared for some novelty events as well (previous years have seen table climbing and rope swings). To enter you just have to be a club member and pay $5 to climb at the ledge (just like regular Wednesday club nights).

There will be novice and open divisions for both men and women, where where the novice category is for those who have been climbing for less than one year. Prizes will be up for grabs in each category and there will be a free BBQ during the competition. Everyone should mark it down in their schedules now, as it should be good fun, not to mention a good warm up for the interclub comp that will be held on Monday the 13th of September.
