It'll be interesting to see how the change to the comp wall affects the order today. I thought Jan Hojer did pretty well considering so much of the qualifiers was techy vert climbing that's not really his strong point. The comp wall might suit him better, though there's usually a slab on there too. Brilliant effort by Aidan Roberts coming second in such a strong field - the strongest field the Works has ever had they said. The women's field looks very competitive too. Be interesting to see what happens there.

That crack problem looked great. I wish more walls set cracks.

Yeah they always seem to set a jamming problem or two - as if to say welcome to Britain. All the first round problems were graded from A (the easiest) to Z. The jamming crack got an appropriate rating of simply A - Z. Alex Megos did it footless with some jamming gloves on after the comp.

Yeah, because no one outside of the UK knows how to jam, right? Hahaha, stupid continentals, all they do is sport climb and jump around in lycra. Now where are my hexes? Edit: And don't even get me started on those North Americans - those punters wouldn't know crack climbing if it squa(mi)shed them.
