Competitors climbed head to head on twin routes, negotiating moving obstacles and racing each other to the finish.
The men's final route was around F7c+ in standard and the women's route was around F7a+.
The routes featured 14 metres of horizontal climbing, plus spinning features and a large crowd, with a main prize of £1000 - making for a high pressure situation for the competitors.
