Enduro 2010

well for those of you who dont know...me, danny and vincent took part in a 24 hour climbing competition with our even being 21 hrs.Total climbing time i guess was 18 -19 hours.We finished 5th out of 17 teams which is pretty dam good considering the strenght of other climbers.There is a more detailed description on wat happened which is on fb ( well frequent fb-ers would have seen it)

anywayz here are sum random facts/moments during the enduro

• we used cap dua singa ( for muscle ache ) during the competition.I used soo much till my eyes began to tear...along with the eyes of the people next to me
• our hands suffered rope burn due to belaying as speedily as possible to get more points. Our atc ( air traffic controller ... seriously ) was slightly damaged after the enduro. The belay set was dam hot till we had to unscrew the carabiner with our clothes (the heat is not exaggerated )
• our most random moment was when vincent's family left us sum donuts. There were 2 donuts and 3 of us...we started laughing when we opened the box
• we pretty much didnt sleep throught the competition.We tried to at 1 point but it was too noisy and were unable to sleep.The 1 hour rest period meant for sleeping passed too fast
• we pretty much knew sum of the routes by heart.I could literally see each move before i go to bed
• climbing using headlights is interesting as you keep on having to look for your footholds
• we lived on ferrero rocher, bananas, donuts ( didnt take it ) and shihlin ( took half a shihlin the next day ) and survived the night with redbull
• only danny escaped relatively uninjured while i got injured around the middle of the competition while vincent was near the end
• thai climbers are f***ing good.The winning team ( from thailand ) didnt climb the whole time and could speed climb.They could do 2 routes in the time we took to do 1 of the routes...monsters
• jaclyn victor sang bad romance o.O

well it was my 1st ever climbing competition and the bond of climbing through the pain and motivating each other will forever be in our memory...

next stop > buying rope and start to lead climb seriously !!!
