In reply to Chun-Han Chan:
i entered the Mile End bit of the SIBL bouldering comp last year, just as a bit of fun and to see how i was doing climbingwise. it was a great atmosphere, very relaxed and friendly and people of all levels (literally -- some people had only been climbing a couple of weeks) -- should have been great, but i f*cked it up; wasn't on form, and the pressure of having people watch you really put me off.. vowed never to enter a comp again as is obviously not a reliable way of 'testing' my climbing,
(tho will naturally do it again this year, just to see if i can beat last year's piss poor score!)
