Website for Great Climbing Videos

Hi there. This website's climbing videos are updated and of good quality. Not like most others on youtube where you can't tell if the climbing is holding a jug or a crimp..

Lynn Hill Climbs The Nose

Amazing video! Superb climb. Lynn Hill is my idol. She's only 158cm but climbs very hard stuff. This climb in the video is over 1000m high!

Climb On! Singapore 2008 Results

Results from Climb On! 2008 can be found here!!!

NEW SEASON! 2009!

The new year started in a way that bodes well for the club.. we have a total of 13 new members attending the first training session yesterday (18th Jan 2009). Of this 13, we see quite a number with good potential to climb well and strong. We also experience a healthy enthusiasm for the first time in the club members, and i'm sure the seniors and the graduated members felt excited for that.

Would also like to welcome back coach Hatta. With his added portfolio as coach for ITE Simei, i'm sure we'll experience more fun and variety in training and achieving greater heights (figurative) fun through structured exchanges with our counterparts in College East.

Looking forward to the next training day! (hope i'll have time to join in the training)

Results of Boulderactive 2008 is Out

Aaron Ong, DX and Sayyidi Afnan took part in the Men's Novice category of Boulderactive 2008 organized by the NUS Climbing Club on 21st March 2008.
Their rankings are:
Aaron - 89
Sayyidi - 105
DX - 120
out of a total of 125 competitors.
Not a bad result considering this is their first competition, how recently only have they started climbing and how little they train, and with a inexperienced make-shift coach that is me.
Well done guys! and work harder!
