Junior British Team Trials

Selection for the Junior British Team for 2009 was held over the weekend of 6th and 7th December 2008. In which two representatives from the Wolf Mountian Junior team decided to try there luck, Duncan and Jack.


The format of the trial incorporated two qualifying rounds and a semi final on the Saturday followed by the final and informal meetings with the finalists on the Sunday.

Those selected
had the chanceto be classed as either ‘Aspirant’ or full ‘Team’ members

Duncan did really well , only missing out by a hold or so. Well done to both for trying.

Here is a link to a few more Photo's

And here is a video of Duncan in action




The choice of venue has been made to give our climbers the best possible chance of success in the upcoming international events at EICA Ratho, who will be holding a round of the IFSC European Youth Series in September 2009 and, provisionally, the IFSC World Youth Championships in 2010.

For those that do not make selection to the Junior British Team, there is still an opportunity to compete in these international competitions. This selection event and further trials throughout 2009/2010 will be used to ensure that all the possible pl
aces in each category are taken by our strongest climbers who have demonstrated their ability and commitment to perform at the required level.
