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

Hi Gareth, long time no see! The comp sounds like a great idea, I hope loads of people will support it. Any prizes for grey haired geriatric incompetents like myself?!

One suggestion, after reading the info at RF this evening: it looks like for the lead and toprope, just getting off the ground on climb L5, for example, will get as many points as topping out on climb L4! Surely this just encourages us to boulder the first few moves to get our best score. I reckon there should just be points for topping out, and we have to find the hardest climb that we can complete. So 10 pts for L1, 100 for L10 etc. This does mean setting climbs without silly last moves, just uniform difficulty in each climb. What do other people think? By the way, yoyo style fully supported, stops people hogging climbs while dogging/working them.

Oh and one more thing, quiz questions back to the sixties and seventies please – when men were men (and sheep were nervous)!! Ideally 70s in UK!
