World Cup Tomorrow

Well the First World Cup is tomorrow in Hall Austria.
There is 144 competitors so it should be a huge event.
my finger is well on its way to being strong again but after climbing as much as i can leading up to the comp im still feeling a little sogy so i hope in another 2/3 weeks ill be back to where i was but its all good as im having a good time.
After the comp we will head back to Ticino in switzerland for some fresh blocking.

We are finally in Europe. We are living in Innsbruck for one or two months. We went bouldering yesterday to the Zillertal and it was cold cold cold so much snow but im looking out the window right now and the snow is already melting. I climbed my first boulder in Europe for 08 and my first boulder in the Zillertal yesterday it is called schimpansenbaby 8a+/V12 i climbed it pretty fast so that was cool, it is the most amazing bloc really powerfull but tricky aswell. Its raining in Ticino now so we are waiting till the weekend to go and climb some swiss blocs cant wait. I still have one more week untill the first boulder world cup so i better go do some more climbing see ya all.......

One week to go

battle of the bulge

Ill be flying to Austria with my mate dave and renting a flat in Innsbruck for a while.

My finger is feeling heaps better now a little weak still but im trying to train as much as i can befor i go.

I have even been on the rock a bit latly and everything is starting to feel good again.

I hope i will be in good enough shape to go in the first world cup in Hall, Austria.

Europe coming but little problems coming to

Well I was training really hard and I was feeling in really good shape but the other day while I was bouldering I strained my A2 pulley in my ring finger I have been to Dr Julian saunders and he seems to think it will heal in time for my trip in April 5th so thats great but it means I will probally be out of shape for the world cup in Hall (Austria) but we will have to see what happens.The 2nd round of the bouldering series was held at the pitch climbing Gym on the weekend and I was not able to compete due to my finger but the comp was a great success with about 150 people showing up to have a boulder.
In the mens Open
Tom Farrell was first followed very close by Marc Edwards and then in third was Alan Pryce.
In the Open woman
Sam Berry berry comfortably took First place followed by Christina Bedard and Carly LeBreton for third.
Congrats goes to The Pitch for running the comp and a shout out to Nathan Harowell for all his efforts in getting the series going again.
Ill keep ya posted with the finger strain.
