Great competition on Saturday. Some strong performances put in by many with climbers experiencing success fromm Canberra, Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales. A number of climbers have made initial qualification for the World Youth team by virtue of a top three finish and now we wait for the confirmed squad in two weeks. A reminder applications for the 4th place in lead and speed categories closes in two weeks (emails to be sent directly to our President Rob Le Breton).
Photos from the weekend will be up shortly. Anyone wishing to purchase digital images from Mike check for the Forum in coming days for instructions on how to order and pay (flat $10 fee for any number of images of yourself).

Open Climber Selection Policy and
Ranking Policy
Calendar now has some dates. Still a few holes and info sheets and entry forms have to be added but, at least you can plan your training.
The SCA has formally adopted its anti-doping policy. This policy will apply to all future competitions. All athletes in the categories that could be tested (Youth B, Youth A, Junior and Open) should make themselves familiar with it.
