Reply To: UCC1 The Ultimate Climbing Championship -Indoor Climbing Competition

G’day Peter.

Nice to see your still around the climbing scene.

If I may just clarify a couple of points on the rope side of things. You must complete (lets say) L4 to be able to score in L5. So say you fail half way in L5 (say 56 points), you “Cannot” claim those points without having completed or later completing L4. You do not also have to have climbed L3, L2 and L1, just the previous climb to your scoring climb.

Second thing Mr T. You my friend are a climbing legend. you will undoubtedly score yourself a prize. The prizes will be doled out with highest scoring Male and Female getting first pick of the prize table, 2nd highest scoring M and F next, then 3rd highest, DYNO winner next (7th pick), 4th highest 5th, 6th, etc down to no more prizes. We have close to 50 prizes so hopefully something for everyone. Will only be able to tell that on the day though. Either way first 50 entrants grab themselves one of those great bags of goodies and Pizza and Powerade for all, hopefully no-one will feel left out.

Now about the quiz. I dont know the first thing about the 70’s UK climbing scene, Im still in my early 20’s so too young I guess. But the quiz isn’t going to be terribly hard (If I know it then most people will too.) Just simple things like – What was the sherpa cooks name on the 1996 Everest expedition for DCXP climbing? (Just kidding). Im sure you’ll do fine and you can always beg (or pay) other competitors for a look at their answers, I have no problems with that at all, but please everyone dont use mobile phones, internet thingees, etc to get any outside help.

Anyway, thats it for now, if any one else has anything that I can help with, I’ll be glad too. Hope to see you all there and having fun especially you Mr T.

P.S. Talking of Grey hairs, Does anyone know if Sam and Norm still play the game? 🙂
