Round 4 Down…
The DCC Winter Boulder Series 2015 has only one round left to go now before the final! Ian Dunn set 25 pink problems for round 4 last weekend. The problems included a wide range of grades from Font 4 – 7b. The last round saw higher scores across the board in general with quite a few climbers gaining over 200 points! Will Roscoe bagged the highest score of the competition yet with an impressive 244/250! Will was closely followed by Jack Graham, Urban Bitenc and David Murray. Free pizza was again on the table for all competing to enjoy too!
Pink Circuit Beta
Although the Pink circuit was set for round 4 of the competition GB Coach Ian Dunn set the circuit with technique improvement in mind. There are plenty of mid-range problems, which are perfect for practicing and improving weak areas! Speak to one of our coaches to find out which problems will help you turn your weaknesses into strengths!
Round 5…
Round 5 will kick off Friday 6th March at 5pm and finish earlier than usual at 3.30pm on Saturday 7th March to make way for the World Cup Style Final! This round counts, and it’s best 4 out of 5 highest scores that matter.
A free curry supper will be provided on Saturday night for all competitors & spectators!
Route Setting…
Route setting for the event is as usual top drawer stuff, with James Hunter setting 25 problems for Round 5 & Mickey Stainthorpe setting the 6 final blocs plus 2 tie break problems. These will be taken down and reset just before the final on Saturday. Along with the final blocs, Mickey will be setting the new eagerly awaited wooden project circuit.
