End of Summer bouldering competition: Open Male

[sawyl]

Spent an enjoyable afternoon watching the finals of the end of summer bouldering competition at the Quay. The last four problems, set out on an area of the main wall, were mostly volumes with a handful of tiny holds. Despite only putting up one placeholder, I'm going to break things up into categories just to make things easier to find.

Following the over 30s competitors were the those in the open male category, climbing the same set of problems. I haven't been through all my photos — the camera was struggling a bit with the low light levels indoors — but I've culled out a few decent snaps from the roll and included them below...
