Boulder Brighton Inter Schools Competition 2023 - ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½

ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½

January 19 saw the Boulder Brighton Inter Schools Competition with almost 200 competitors from 19 schools, some as far away as Winchester and Southampton. 15 pupils from ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ participated in both the U16 and 16+ categories. The students all climbed excellently with ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ coming 2nd place in the 16+ and 4th place in the U16 category, qualifying ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ for the finals. A special well done to Orianne G who placed 3rd place in the individual female category.

The finals took place on February 2 with 36 climbers topping 93 times in the finals, making it the biggest yet. Five students from ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ attended the finals and they all climbed brilliantly, despite it being a different style of competition where flashing the climb and attempts were not a part of the scoring, instead it was based on reaching a zone (a specific hold in the route) and reaching the top. The final scoring for the event saw the 16+ team place 4th and the U16 team place 6th, which is very impressive as they were a team player down. A special well done to Rohan A who topped five out of the six routes in the final.
