Bouldering Competition Korean Style




A while back I attended a competition in Busan, the neighbouring city. 3 climbing clubs (The host gym, our gym and one from the city of Kyongju) met at "Family Climbing Center" and worked on 5 or 6 boulder problems in this great facility.
To sum up the event, we arrived, visited and had introductions, went for dinner, climbed for an hour, had another dinner in the gym, and celebrated. The night ended with me curling up in the crawlspace at 2 am, to get some shut eye, while most people went strong until who knows when. The best part, there was no scorekeeping... all for fun!!

That looks like a sweet climbing gym, we found apparently the "biggest" indoor climbing wall in NZ and it was half the size of Vic's if not smaller. On the other hand it's owned by a 5 time gold medallist kayaker named Ian Ferguson... kind of cool.
