Train for Pain Climbing Competition

December 2001

The second competition in the Train for Pain Climbing Series took place on Thursday Dec. 13th at the Powick's. An incredible turn-out with top notch problems proved to make for a fun and exciting evening. Marc Hammarlund and Greg Parker, the problem setters, decided on the format which entailed doing as many problems as you could - scoring was cumulative with the total number of 'flashes' being worked in to a bonus score. Final point scores were adjusted based on the competitors best outdoor boulder problem using some PHd level math, scatter graphs, and curve fits. When the smoke cleared - Ellen took first, with Danielle in 2nd and Doug Oliver in 3rd.

The next competition will be held in mid-January.
