Awsome climb, have just started getting into the pole climbing and ill say i thought i was a very fit lad but getting up that pole destroyed me my hats of to you. what sort of times are you looking to get for the novice class?

I hit between low 15's and mid 16's mainly on side spikes.

Generally top 4 places are within this time bracket. But normally the 1st 2 runs are a lot slower 18-20 secs as you get used to the condition of the pole. Im moving up to expert prob for the apf so will be a lot slower as im using toe spikes which i did a 24.95 seconds on, as its like learning to walk again

[ben lightfoot]

im hoping to enter the apf as my first pole climbing comp, can you do one or two days or do you have to enter on all three?

Awesome! |I'd pap myself at the top of there! Fair play.
