Last Wednesday, 10 Abingdon students from Fourth Year to Upper Sixth travelled to Rockstar Climbing Centre in Swindon to meet with Cokethorpe School for a friendly training session and competition. The students thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to experience a commercial climbing wall – for some it was their first time! The informal competition comprised 10 boulder routes at V1-6 level, with Daniel from Fourth Year climbing them all on the first try, matched by a Cokethorpe student to take joint 1st place. Well done should also go to Charlie, Charlie, Piers (Lower Sixth), George (Fifth Year) and George (Fourth Year) for strong continued commitment to the sport, and to Harry (Upper Sixth), Thomas, Peter (Lower Sixth) and Cosmo (Fifth Year) for excellent first appearances on the squad. Thanks to Cokethorpe for a good challenge and the chance to meet like-minded climbers.
