Brilliant effort, though the report says "Dave Barrans has become the first member of the British Bouldering Team to stand on a podium in a World Championship". What about Mark Croxall's win at the NEC in 2005? That was the World Bouldering Cup... is that different from the 'Championships'?
In reply to Tom Briggs: The World Cup is a series of events every year. The World Championships is a one off event every two years.

Both Mark Croxall and Andy Earl have won rounds of the World Cup.
