Weekend Review: Nov 22 – 27

I’m posting this after the weekend, but before the 27th, so not all the comps have happened yet.  I wanted the results I had to get out there quickly.  I will update both the blog and this post with results from the other comps as soon as I have them.

Weekend Preview: Nov 22 – 27

This time the preview covers more than the weekend.  We have a few events coming up in the next week and then, on the American side, we are taking a break for Thanksgiving.  Here’s what’s coming:

Friday, November 22, 2013

NCBS – Altitude, Gatineau, QC
Cost: $5 + $11.95 bouldering day pass or membership to Altitude Gym
Climbing: 6:00pm – 8:30pm
Categories: Open, Rec and Youth

This comp is part of the National Capital Bouldering Series.  There is a 100 person cap on this event, so pre-registration is a good idea.  A unique format is used for this series, so make sure you know what’s going on before you get there.

Gravity Boulder Night – Gravity Climbing Gym, Hamilton ON
Cost: just the day pass or membership to Gravity Gym
Climbing: no set start time

This is a super laid back comp that is more a night of bouldering.  There are prizes for the top finishing male and female climber.  There is no additional fee to take part in the comp and there is no set start time, just show up whenever to start having fun!

After these comps, there is nothing on the schedule until December 7 when the Canadians throw down at the next eastern TdB stop (at True North, Toronto, ON) and the American Youth head to ABS Regionals for a chance to move on to Divisonals.  Due to the holiday, there may be a delay in some results.

To my American readers, Happy Thanksgiving!

Infinity Series – Stone Age Rock Gym, Manchester, CT

I was at The Brawl on Saturday and then the Infinity Series on Sunday.  I had a really great time at both comps.  Sadly, I got sick Thursday night and it just kept getting worse through the weekend.  I never felt 100% when climbing, but I thought I did fairly well.  I’m going to try and get better this week!
