Individual congratulations also to Daniel Krippner and Sarah Hay – who picked up the CNZ Opens prizes in Wanaka. A reminder to all Opens climbers about this: the combined winners (Lead and Bouldering scores) from the two disciplines at Auckland will win free entry to the National Bouldering Champs in Wellington on Sep 3/4.

And don’t forget the generous prizes donated by our sponsors this year – Black Diamond and 5.10 – that will be up to be won by the overall winners of the series. Gosh there’s some good action going on this year on the New Zealand sportclimbing scene!

Congratulations to everyone who made it over the ditch to the Oceania Lead and Speed Champs in Sydney this weekend. It was a fantastic event and a great start to a new life for Oceania Sportclimbing.
