In the next age category girls 11-13 years Dana Windle just missed out on the top spot in 2nd with a strong 3rd place to Georgia Hoyland, Mary Clerkin 4th, Bethany Hoyland 7th and Danielle Hoyland 8th, out of a total field of 11 climbers a very good overall performance from the 5 climbers. Boys 11-13 was won by an impressive Thomas Lee closely followed by brother Ben Lee in 2nd out of 9 climbers. Girls 13-16 years Bethany Hoyland came a solid 5th out of the 9 climbers.

Tenaya Boot Demo - 3rd Feb

As always boot demos give you a chance to "try before you buy" and do some proper climbing in a new make/model of shoe before investing your hard earned pennies. Unlike many other manufacturers Tenaya make their range of technical shoes down to very small sizes, so are of special interest to girlies who are unable to get technical shoes small enough to fit.

As well as the boot demo Mike Adams will be running a FREE Masterclass session.

The boot demo will be from 6pm on Thursday 3rd February.
