Sports Climbing

This afternoon I went to Moy Rock, my local crag, met up with a few friends and done some climbing!!

After doing a few warm-up routes, A friend suggested that I should try these 2 routes:

1. Little Teaser (20m) 6b+ **
   
2. The Ticks Eat All the Midges 7a+ **

But instead of climbing The Ticks Eat All The Midges I went up the wrong line and climbed Cloak and Dagger 7a ** which I thought was pretty good but really pumpy trying to climb over the small roof to the lower off.

Scottish Tooling Series Round 1

Round 1 of the Scottish Tooling Series was held on Saturday at Advertical World. This year is the second year that the Scottish Tooling Series.

Saturday, the competition started at 10.45 and we Had 4 hours to complete 18 boulder problems/ routes.

In the Qualifying round I got 153 points out of 180. The final we had 1 route and I managed to get to the top !!!!

I liked the competition routes, but I think that they would have been a little bit better if some of the routes were harder with sketchy holds.

Some more information can be found here for the Scottish tooling series: STS
