Revolution comp held at the pitch

Well it was the 4th revolution comp held at the pitch on saturday night. The turn out was great, there were so many people there, many I had not seen for some time. I raced down to sydney after work and got there right bang on 6pm, just when the comp started. I was super nervous as I have not competed in a revolution comp before and have not competed in many others either. It took me a little while to work out which wall I was to start on, so many quality problems. The comp consisted of a 3hr pump fest and no finals. In the 3 hrs you were to do the 8 hardest problems you could and also do as many as you could. This gave you 2 scores, all up score and the hardest 8 score. Overall I was really happy to be down there, it was such a great session to have at such a excellent gym. Overall the results were:

1st place: Yarn (Excuse the spelling)
2nd place: Steve Gardner
3rd Place: Myself.

Thanks heaps to everyone who helped set up for the comp, I cant wait for the next comp there!

Nowra season

I just came back from another day at Nowra. I had the flu going down there and had spent all day in bed the day before, so I was not sure if I was going to even get on anything hard. I warmed up on still life and thought to myself, I wont be back here for a while, so I should at least give something a go. So I put my draws on Narcosis, 30, in the little grease cave. To my suprise it felt easier than it ever has. I adjusted a few little things with the route, then sent it easily. My little bit of training paid off. I will be getting some photos when back down there in July, as I was only there for a few hours I could not set up any photos. I hope to spend a fair amount of time there over july and have my eye on a few routes and boulders there.
