North Island Regionals Round 1 Rotorua - Feb 25th

 The North Island regionals have kicked off for 2012 with the 5th round moving from Turangi to Otorohonga. The turnout for the 1st round in Rotorua was great and Hamilton dominated the podiums with four 1st's, two 2nd's and 5 3rd's.



I ended up topping the first two routes however I fell off on the headwall of the final lead, placing 2nd to a 3 way tie between the Tauranga crew consisting of Wiz, Peanut and Isaac.

NBS Round 2 Froggatt Edge - Feb 18th

This year the National Bouldering Series made a return to Froggatt Edge. The original guide was updated and cut down to the best 94 problems ranging from VM to V11 and the problems were given a desperately need clean. .The turnout was pretty good with 66 competitors all up, from as far as Wellington.

This year I decided to enter the Endurance category and ended up with all 25 of my problems being V2 or harder giving me a total score of 70 points, with Nathan Kelly in 2nd with 40 points and Daniel Newth in 3rd with 39 points.
