Perfect sunny weather, a gentle breeze, MONK-coffee at hand, three huge boulder constructions and 900(!) motivated contestants were the ingredients for a stunning boulder event held at the Scheveningen beach last saturday. We, (Tim, David, Martijn, Maurice and Joost) distinguished ourselfs not by our bouldering capacities but for sure by our T-shirts. In memory of the death of Wolfgang Güllich Maurice and I made this T-shirt with one of his legendary one-liners "Man geht nicht NACH dem klettern einen Kaffee trinken, sondern Kaffeetrinken IST een Teil des kletterns". A thought we put into practise several times during the day.
Again BAZ 2008 was a stunning example of a perfect organized bouldering event. Three huge bouldering constructions lay await for us. Overhanging routes, mantle-moves, delicate smearing and dyno's were all there for the climbers to test one's ability. The perfect weather, sunny and a gentle breeze, added to the relaxed atmosphere and provoked questionmarks by the onelookers who were wondering from what planet these climbing-creatures came from. As pics say more than words hereby a few who were shot by Martijn, Tim, Joost and me (names added with the pictures).
