Scottish Boulder Championships!
On The 8th of February the first ever Scottish boulder championships were hosted at Extreme Dream! It was A brilliant day consisting of 15 qualifier routes (done in any order), a semi and a final. As always Scott Muir added an interesting twist to the competition by adding some swinging boards on the roof and other walls. Poor Jessica (scotland south) had to pull out of the comp due to finger injurys.

Aquadome Boulder Comp!
On Friday the 31st most of the north crew headed down to the aquadome for a friendly boulder comp. There were two category a savage category and a placid category. We all decided to test ourself in the savage category even after being warned by Ruairidh Macenzie that it was named appropriately. After me, Ellen B and Jade fell of the easyest route we decided to swap categorys to placid. I completed all the problems and got full marks and Jade and Ellen B only dropped a few points. i came overall 1st place joint with Jades younger sister Dawn Longworth. In the end i think i should of stayed in the severe category but overall it was an exellent avent and im looking forward to round 2.
A big thanks to Ruairidh Macenzie and his team =]

Scottish Team Training!
On the 1st of February most of the Scottish team went to Extreme Dream for a training session with Scott Muir. We Started of the day with a Scott Muir style warm-up, he took us all to loch Morloch for a bit of sand training. This included dragging a large branch along the sand. After our warm-up we went back to extreme dream to do some training. We did some specific footwork, and some endurance. We then did some floor training which included crunches, push ups and various stretches. The next day i think everyone felt the effects of the training but it definitely helped me improve my footwork and strength!
Thanks Scott for a good session !
