Climbing wall in University of Limerick
This photo was taken at a climbing competition at the University of Limerick. Climbing walls like this are a great idea to get students in colleges to take an interest in the sport. They are also great training for climbers who wish to build up their strength or simply to keep climbing during the winter months when it is too wet and cold to climb outdoors. In Ireland there is a climbing competition run by the Mountaineering Council of Ireland called the Lowe Alpine Irish Bouldering League which is held in various climbing walls around the country. These walls are usually in DCU, UCD, NUI Galway, UCC, and Belfast’s Ozone Centre. Climbers will climb set routes on the walls and score a number of points for reaching the last grip in the climb. Each climber gets 3 chances for each problem. The scoring depends on which attempt you reach the last grip on, eg 10 on the first attempt, 7 for the second, and 4 for the last attempt. The aim of the competition is to bring climbers from all over the country together and to promote the sport itself in a safe competitive environment. The idea of bouldering is that the climber can climb to a moderate height and fall off onto bouldering mats without hurting themselves.
