Hey cats, just a quick wrap up of yesterdays legendary bouldering competition. The competition was held at the newly built Bayside Rock in Carrum downs, and was the grand opening for the gym....well at least the bouldering area of the gym (climbing walls are still a few months away). Lots of eager beavers turned up, with maybe 90 competing over the 2 sessions enjoying the world class boulder problems set by some of the most genius setters this sport has ever seen. The A-Team represented with all the class, style, energy, poise, modesty and overall awesomeness that they have become to be renown for.
The beast known as Philby put in a tremendous effort, growling his way up many hard problems during the 2 hour pump fest. Whilst apparently not smart enough to fill out his score sheet and perform simple maths equations, it was realised when the finals competitors were announced, that he probably would have scored high enough to have been in the finals! Philby's not a glory man anyway, more the silent assassin type.
Speaking of chest beating, oiled up, sugar driven men only in it for the glory, the big man Grosey! Started the session with late arrival, low blood sugar and a spastic gut, but left standing on the podium in 3rd! Grosey climbed solidly through out the pump fest with minimal hissy fits and lots of crushing. I'm not sure if he'll ever find it in himself to forgive the skinny little douchebag fucker who got in his way while climbing and copped a kick in the head for his efforts, making Joshy the poor lad fall off. Wait...is that the sad sound of violins I'm just hearing now??? Scoring 373, just 1 point behind Juppy in second place, Grosey flashed all the finals problems he came too, but being beat by that 1 point on count back! "Boulder comps are gay anyway. I'm going to Muline" i think i heard him mutter....
But the most successful team member of the day was Pleb who smashed her way through the finals and finished first. Not bad for a chick I suppose. With a score after the pump fest that would have qualified her for the mens finals, the setters were busy adjusting the finals problems last minute to make them harder, but to no avail. Pleb flashed them all bar the last and hardest one, where she flashed up to the second last move, but still well and truly enough to take out first place. This goes a little way to make up for the woeful contribution to the A-Team Easter ticklist.
Katie 'KB' Brown was even coaxed out of the house for the day and made an appearance. In between sit down sessions on the floor, and the occasional intense, nightmare flashbacks of World Cups as a teenager, climbed super strong, out climbing the majority of the girls and guys competing.
