1999 New Zealand National Sportclimbing Competition

Oh what a weekend. The competitors we talked to said it was the best national competition ever. The finals for both competitions were held on at night with the climbing conducted under spotlight. There were nearly 200 spectators during each of (youth and open competition) final rounds, with the climbers providing an  amassing exhibition of skill. For the first time the competition included Speed Climbing, which was a real hit with the spectators.
