Summit ROXX '07 climbing competition.

yesterday was a really fun filled day. it all started with me waking up at 6:30 in the morning so that i could go for service at st. ignatius church.

after that i dropped by home to get my gear and about 5 minutes of sleep then i was off to summit.















the competition was fun. there was all together 6 categories.

• mens top rope
• womens top rope
• mens bouldering
• womens bouldering
• mens combined (top rope & bouldering) [i joined this category]
  
• womens combined (top rope & bouldering)

it started with the top rope, and later bouldering after lunch.

the top rope routes were all set in the gym. the routes were actually not so bad. but the only thing i hated about the top rope session was that the lines were too freaking long! there was not enough time to climb. what happens is that you spend 90% of your time hanging around waiting for your turn.

for the bouldering session, it was actually much better and fast paced. the routes were in the gym itself, and also in the main concourse. the session was launched in the concourse. it was real good cause this time we didn't have to wait that long. longest wait was about 3-5 minutes. i was doing all the do-able routes on the boulder in the concourse and later once that was all done i went up to the gym to do the routes there. the funny thing is that the routes in the gym was actually harder(points wise) than the routes in the concourse. but never the less, it was fun.

after the bouldering session was done, they had the dyno competition.

*dyno - a point when a climber jumps off the wall, using dynamic movement, towards another hold that is beyond reach. what it means is that the climber basically jumps from one place to another.

the dyno routes that were given were really fun to watch.

after the dyno competition, it was the prize giving ceremony.

here are the results for the comps.
