Unexpected Victory at NUS The North Face Boulderactive 2013
During the qualifying rounds was already shocking enough i could enter the Finals.... I was like how on earth i could enter the finals...
From this moment on there will be alot of climbers language that there layman will not understand. But i will try my best to make layman be able to understand as well or i will explain it along the way...
I could only say i was very lucky due to the fact that the routes of the competition is within my style and the rest of the route is hard enough i couldnt do and the rest of the 50+/- other climbers cant do as well. Ending up they have to compare the number of attempts to finish the only 2 routes everyone able to finish. What makes me in the 7th place for the qualifying rounds.
I had nv qualify nor enter finals for Novice Men category and i joined Intermediate category cause all my friends have already advance to the Inter-Cat... So they kept bugging me to self promote myself and move to Inter categories....
PS : Basically the category goes like this... Novice > Intermediate > Open .... Harder and harder category / climbs & By advancing from Novice to Inter u have to be a Finalise of the Novice Category or any higher categories which is either Open or Inter...
The 2 routes if finish was within my style of climbing which require sitting or manta(muscle-up) up a volume & lots of small crimps(really tiny hand holds).... Which took me only 1 attempt to finish that 2 routes...
Going into the finals i only finished the 1st route which is also my type of route which is also crimps... All the handholds are really small which is in my advantage... Cause i got really small hands and because of that i been training my crimping strength since i found out my advantages in climbing on this kind of hand holds... So im quite good at crimps.... as for the other 2 routes i was unable to even get the bonus tile or finished it... Same goes for the other 7 finalise... which put me at the 3rd place as i took 1 attempt to finish a route... 2nd place he took 1 attempt to finish the same route and a bonus on another route... 1st place my climbing buddy since freshies got 1 attempt on the same route and 2 bonus on the another 2 routes...
It's awesome to climb the finals with 2 of my climbing buddies since we join SP Rock Climbing Club together train hard and fight our way to the Finals together... was really unexpected that i will even enter the finals and ended up winning in 3rd place...
My friends say i was really lucky cause both qualifying and finals happen to have the type of routes of my style. He say i should go try buy TOTO 4D or Big Sweep i might tio also... Haha...
That is the end of my this long post...
