On Saturday I went to Karbin to watch the “BloXplosion” climbing competition arranged by local climbing club BlocStar. I didn't get there early enough to see the qualifying rounds, but I did see the finals. It was quite exciting, and I met some nice folks too. Naturally, I took a bunch of photos. Maybe in a year or so I'll be good enough that I'll be ready to try a real competition. I'm sure it's a good way to motivate oneself!

Thursday night @ KC

Thursday I went bouldering at Klättercentret. It was fun climbing, even if it wasn't my best night. Here, new friend Linda tackles the fun green route on the tall wall.
Peter made some progress on this black-rated problem on the upstairs bouldering wall.
Leoni was there with her dad, sister, and brother. I had a nice chat with them. Here, she takes a stab at a very tricky problem on the D-wall downstairs.

Klättercentret on Friday

KC on Tuesday
I went bouldering at Klättercentret on Tuesday. It wasn't my best night; I guess I'm still recovering from the cold I caught a couple of weeks ago. One good thing about having my camera with me is that if I'm not feeling up to climbing a lot, I can take photos instead. Or if I just need to rest between attempts at a particularly tricky problem, I can get some shots during that time. I managed to get some nice photos Tuesday night, including this shot of Peter's daughter Daneila. She's really brave!

A tough night at Karbin
I am still recovering from the cold I caught on Sunday, so Tuesday's bouldering session at Karbin was not nearly as successful as the boulder open on Friday. It's actually dramatic how stark the difference was. There were some red-rated routes that were easy for me on Friday, but that I couldn't even get started on this time.
Even so, I had a good time. I did well on the easier problems, and the ones that required more finesse than strength. I met Anna F. there, as well as a couple of her climbing buddies, Yvonne and Cissi. I also saw some folks that I first met at Klättercentret way back in August: Micke, Louise & Chrisian. Christian spent a lot of time working on a really tricky white-rated (very difficult) bouldering problem, and I got a few good shots of him. The photos are online.
