Tour de Bloc 2009: Coyote Rock Gym, Ottawa
Unfortunately, I don’t have much time to comment on the wonderful competition Jody’s crew put up at Coyote Rock Gym. There were a ton of problems, 58 in total, and they were all pretty awesome. One thing I really appreciated (thanks to Jody!) was that the setters waited until the female competitor who qualified first started finished climbing problem #2 before they started to roll in the male competitors. I personally think it gives a little more time for the competitor to concentrate and not be bothered by the setters shuffling around with a ladder, etc (I had mentioned that in my post on the comp at Boulderz). Anyways, another amazing competition for the Tour de Bloc. I can’t wait for the regionals at Coyote (Apr, 11, 2009) and the nationals at Allez-Up in Montreal (May 16/17, 2009)!
