World Cup Bouldering - FAKE

At the 6th of june there will be a try-out of the World Cup Bouldering in MONK as a practise for the Dutch climbing team and the wildcard holders. Main objective thought is to give the Judges a last update and simulation possibility for the real competition. Enjoy 'FAKE' from the MONK bar and see what the World Cup Bouldering has in store for you. Admission is free and it starts at 18:oo until 20:30.

Op 6 juni wordt er onder de noemer FAKE op onze wedstrijdwand een simulatiewedstrijd gehouden als voorbereiding op de World Cup Boulder een week later. Hoofddoel van de wedstrijd is de nationale scheidsrechters een laatste bijscholings/trainingsmoment te geven. Voor de deelnemende klimmers (uitgenodigd zijn alle Nederlandse deelnemers aan de World Cup) is het een mooie laatste oefening. Geniet vanuit de Monk bar relaxed van deze try-out en neem alvast een voorproefje op wat komen gaat. De toegang is gratis. Zaterdag 6 juni18:00 - 20:30 uur

Judge at the World Cup Bouldering Eindhoven - MONK

Yesh !!, Mooch the cat from the comic Mutts would say. I have been asked to be a formal judge at the World Cup Bouldering in Eindhoven. What an honour !! To see the most skillful bouldering man and women of the world competing in front of your eyes is a thrill to behold. See here for the enlistment so far.

First I'll have to learn all the general and specific bouldering rules by heart, but it's the pre-meeting with the other judges and the training session with the Dutch team and wildcard holders that will teach me the most.

Another step in the climbing world I have not yet experienced is about to become reality. Something to look forward too. Be there and enjoy all the activities with me !! Check this link (Dutch) and this link (English) to learn more about the World Cup Bouldering in Eindhoven. For international news go to the IFSC site.

More updates about the World Cup will folow for sure !!
