For those of you in the South Plains of NM, TX, OK area...the Annual Vertical Plains Climbing Competition is on Feb 15th. The comp is being hosted by Texas Tech University and is open to all climbers.
Registration started today for the comp, and all the information for the competition can be found at http://www.ttu.edu/recsports ...just follow the Vertical Plains logo.
For those considering pulling in this comp, there will be two sessions (morning and afternoon) which should help out those coming in. It is a redpoint format competition with bouldering and toproping. First 70 registrants are eligible for the free grab bag and comp shirt.
We anticipate over 80 climbers from NM, OK, and TX. This competition is just a fun comp, it is not part of the USCCA or ABS series. If you have questions feel free to email bryan.ng@ttu.edu
Climb like you live

I had a pretty awesome time at the comp today. I didn't climb as well as I had hoped but I still won the mens beg. division. I got so pissed off I missed the finishing move on the roof route twice, and I think that threw me off. Oh well. Hope everyone else had as good a time as I did.
