In reply to Graeme Alderson:

What did you make of the entry in the top ten in summit ?

And is ice-climbing really going to be in the winter Olympics (can't remember what it said)

In reply to Chris the Tall:

My brain is numb - what top 10?

No ice climbing is not going to be in the Winter Games. there will be a demonstration event during the cultural programme in Sochi but that is still a long way from the Games. Climbing was similarly featured in Torino

In reply to Chris the Tall:

Yer the bit about not getting in the Olympics was a bit odd. I did not understand the BMCs angle on that. Unless the article is really written for trad climbers who don't approve of indoor competitions, so then why admin the teams?
