Foundry Academy Friendly comp!

On Saturday 30 young climbers competed at the first Foundry Academy friendly. After having 5 problems and a route to try the final scores are below. It was a good comp, everyone looked like they were enjoying the great problems and routes set by Rob Napier (our resident brilliant setter!) and Tim Hill (usually seen managing the cafe) who is also a dab hand at setting. Well done to all of you who took part and the parents who helped out. Good luck to all of you intending to do the forthcoming BRYCS series.

The maximum score possible was 150.
