On Monday, 12 Abingdon students travelled to Volume 1 climbing centre in East Grinstead to take part in a bouldering competition against several other schools. The students had 4 hours to tackle 30 boulder problems across a range of difficulties, testing not only their endurance and strength but time management and perseverance. Dan (Upper sixth) and Jonah (Fifth Year) managed to complete every set problem, earning them first and second place in the Senior Boys category respectively. James (Third Year) also secured 3rd place in the Junior Boys category.
Furthermore, the Abingdon A team managed to come away with overall first place, scoring 1453 out of a possible 1800. A fantastic effort from all who attended – well done!
