Yesterday Team GB's Dave Barrans and Leah Crane fought through the qualification at the first International Bouldering competition of the year, the IFSC European Bouldering Championships in Innsbruck, Austria.
Both climbers qualified and are competing in the Semi Finals tonight at 5pm UK time.
Dave placed 5th in his qualification group (the field is split into two separate groups in the first round) and Leah 10th. The 6-strong GB team also included Ben West, Nathan Phillips, Matt Cousins and Orrin Coley.
Top British competition boulderer Shauna Coxsey unfortunately had to pull out of the event a few days prior due to injury.
UKC shouts a massive Good Luck to Dave and Leah!
