Pinnacle Sport Queensland Social Series Round3­

Pinnacle Sport sponsors the SCA Queensland Social Series

Toowoomba in mid winter can be challenging, but it didn't stop more than 50 climbers turning out for Round 3 of the Pinnacle Sport Social Series held at Adrenalin, in the Garden City on 18 June.

Adrenalin may be tight for floor space, but it more than makes up for that with an abundance of well textured red ochre walls and features. Its occasional roof sections, frequent overhangs, finger cracks and chimneys are all good training for local climbers preparing to take on nearby Frog Buttress.

Primary course setter and Darling Downs climbing obsessive Phil Box deliberately set challenging climbs. But, as he said, “the answers are there, if you can see them.”

Big traverses, balancey step throughs, mad bridging and sloper finishes provided welcome variety and rewarded strong, technical climbers. It was easily the hardest climbing so far in this year's series and frequent early falls were common in all categories.

The younger age groups continued to entertain with gutsy climbing, which bodes well for the future of sport climbing. The Under 9 Girls were a good example, with three pint sized terriers showing great determination. Brittany Cunninghame pipped Nikita-Anne Coulter into first place with Tara Keenan third. In the Under 9 Boys Daniel Crane grabbed first from James Heimann with Hayden Wheeler coming in third.

Former New Zealand South Island champ Joseph Greenslade fought hard for a close second in Youth B. Stephanie Larkin's smearing and bridging on her way up climb #4 was a fine example of her winning form in Youth B. Helidon's Alyssa Tate performed well to win Youth C.

Other locals to win were Tara Fletcher in Youth A, Chris Jannusch in Junior Male and Dan Comerford, who topped out the tough sit start purple in winning Youth A. Another local, Grant Edser, scored an awesome 99.9 points to deservedly win Open Male.

Jarrod L'Estrange was top novice climber but left a couple of minutes too early, so missed one of Pinnacle Sport's three lucky door prizes, which was redrawn and won by Tara Fletcher. At 8:17 Cass Crane was the fastest woman on the day, only just pipped by Dan Comerford with 7:82 in the speed climbing.

Round 4 will be held at Paramount on the Gold Coast on 16 July. It's another gym with lots of wall space and enough features to offer route setters the opportunity to wander and tease.

Should be good climbing.
