YCS Round 1 South Scotland, The Peak Wall, Stirling
The Peak Wall at Stirling was an excellent location, compact but with a great variety of climbs and a superb café. We had 56 climbers taking part, making it the biggest ever round in South Scotland. We had an astounding 20 girls competing in the 11-13 age category and at the end of the day there was only 6 points separating the top five. None of the categories are clear cut making for an exciting series with everything to climb for. Two of the GB team came in to demo the climbs and were just as nervous about that as they are when competing.
The level of support for the climbers from parents and participants alike was terrific. Judges kept things moving and we were amazed to be handing out the certificates by 4.30pm. Thanks to the guys that set the routes, the volunteers that administrated, belayed and judged so ably and all the climbers and their parents for putting so much enthusiasm into the day. Next round at Glasgow Climbing Centre on 20thMarch. See you there.
Well done to all of the climbers and good luck in Round 2!
