Inez fighting not to cut loose on the Yr 12-13 Girls' second bouldering problem.


After an early start and a long drive Inez B-R, Sam B, Elliot H, Alex M, Harry Mc, Chris M, Matt J, Niclas C and Evey O arrived at the Rock & Rapid Adventure Centre to take part in the annual Interschool Climbing Competition. The competition was split into Yr 9-11 and Yr 12-13 and also into male and female categories. There were three top-rope routes and three bouldering problems for each competitor to attempt, points were gained depending on how far up the route they managed to climb.

Despite a huge effort from everyone we were somewhat outclassed by West Buckland's National Squad climbers so we didn't win, but everyone enjoyed visiting a different wall and trying some new problems.
