Yes indeed, the buzz is growing and growing and with just over three weeks to go if you’re not training hard….YOU SHOULD BE :). This comp promises to be action packed with at least two of Australia’s best already registered and competing (actually they are world class having competed and ranked in many world cups). Plus there are rumors of two more Eastern states big boys wiggling their ears at the WA gossip.

A little something I wanted to clear up though, categories. Now you should be able to work out the male/female bit pretty easily, but are you Advanced or novice is the question a lot of people are asking. Well, with this being another “first” in the format way of things, I have decided to limit the competitors to gender only. Everyone was always going to be competing in the same pumpfest, and some people were talking about not trying hard in the pumpfest and as long as they obtained the required 80% to get into the finals they were going to be satisfied. Well to fix that, everyone will now still be doing the same pumpfest but everyone is in just two categories of either male or female. Only the top 6 men and top 6 women scorers will go into the finals. If you make the top 6 you climb off for the cash, beyond the top 6 picking from the prize table will go on until all prizes are exhausted or all competitors have received a prize(btw: some absolutely fabulous prizes have been generously donated by our sponsors and will be on display early next week at Rockface). You will all need to try your best to reach the finals or place as high as possible in the prize pick. Again, same as before any finals problems going uncompleted will result in a super final being held on that problem with 1 go for each finalist, highest point takes the loot.

WOW $2,000 cash plus loads of great prizes up for grabs in a WA climbing comp, I’m excited, how about you? Get your entries in now and be in the first 50 to receive our free gift bag, hope to see you there.

Sorry, for those who missed the jist of the category/ies, I will put it a little more simply.

The top 6 men and women will fight off in a final for the cash (I’m certain any of our climbers good enough to get into the finals are bigger than worrying about if they get first or sixth.) The chance to compete with people at this level is a great opportunity for the brave and mighty climbers in WA.

The remaining competitors beyond the 6 will be fighting off for the pick of the fantastic prizes (exactly as in years gone by but without the top six getting first dibs).

The advantage of having world class competitors to watch as a lesser advanced climber, or to compete against as a more advanced climber …well do I need to explain any more?

Indeed they will be placed throughout the whole gym. All walls.
