LFS 10th International Climbing Competition

Lychee Francais De Singapour (LFS) organised their 10th climbing competition last week. Same place, same catgory with a slight twist to the format. Competitors are tested on the 2 technical disciplines in each round: boulder and difficulty. Their ranking in each discipline are later added to attain the combined ranking.

While the competition may be open to competitors no older than 18 years-old and a start list of no more than 50 competitors, the managment of the competition is something that organisers of difficulty competitions should look upon especially in the area of time management. Pack a comp with too many competitors and back-to-back categories will only take the toll on your officials which is not very helpful in tricky situations.

Congratulations to LFS for organising 10 good years of climbing competitions and i'm sure there will be more to come.
