Last weekend Glasgow Climbing Academy (TCA)
held the second of the Scottish Youth Bouldering Series (SYBC).
This comp had 15 boulder problems in the
qualifiers with the top 6
going through to the final. In the final
all you had to do was 3 more problems. Easy!
The first 13 qualifiers were undemanding, flashing them all
within the first hour and a half, but then it came to the final two. Both
white, both on a steep over hang. Both threw me off. The second one however, I finally
reached the bonus, the bonus which scraped me into the final.

In a competition, you’re
supposed to be competitive, right? I don’t think I’ve got quite the right end
of the stick then, feeling absolutely terrible at news that I had thrown Tash
out of the final because the hold the bonus. I felt so bad, if only I had known
that the bonus would split us up so closely! My heart leaped with joy however,
when I got the news that Tash, on appeal joined me in 6
th place!
There was 7 going into the final!
Being predominantly a lead climber, I was pretty pleased
about getting into the final, however it is till a bit down hearting when you
go out to your first problem and keep failing at the first move. Despite that,
although I wasn’t aware of it at the time, I managed to scrape up into 4
th
place, a position I was very pleased with, considering I was up against, Tara,
Molly, Rachel and Gracie!

Over all I had a successful few days and taking advantage of
the extended bank holiday weekend I had a day and half climbing at Kilnsey,
squeezing it between the family events I also had.
The first 13 qualifiers were undemanding, flashing them all
within the first hour and a half, but then it came to the final two. Both
white, both on a steep over hang. Both threw me off. The second one however, I finally
reached the bonus, the bonus which scraped me into the final.
