Tooling Series Final 2009


Saturday was a 6.30 start, we travelled down to Fort William for the final of the tooling series.
This round was a bit of a serious competition between me and my mate Dylan Mackenzie, because the winner of this round would win the series trophy!! We had like 4 hours to try and complete the Qualifying round routes, so me and my dad raced round most of the routes, trying our best to Finnish but of course we ran out of time!
The final route was going up the articulated wall which was overhanging, I was out climbing second and I took 7 minutes to get to the top (I was SO pumped!). then Dylan got to the top, so we had to have a supper final which was also on the overhanging was but on the mens final route. I was out of isolation first and managed to get just under half way and popped off going for a long move to a crappy hold. Dylan got to the hold just below me!!



Thanks so much everyone that run this fantastic event and the sponsors Lyon Equipment. I hope there is one next year!!
