Cliffhanger 2008 ended in a blaze of glorious evening sunshine late Sunday night in Sheffield and for the second year running the city played host to the British Bouldering Championship (BBC).

The BBC attracted the country's top boulderers who came to battle with a series of superb, technical problems, created by some of the country's best route setters - all on a specially constructed wall. This year the competition wall was housed within the vast acreage of a marquee said to have come straight from the Glastonbury Festival.

Keith Sharples was there and he took his camera... (and saw new champions, world records and a whole load of snow?!)
