The SCBC Richmond Spring Cling difficulty competition took place at the Richmond Oval over the weekend. Despite a number of competitors taking to the rocks at Skaha, the event still had quite the crowd. For those of you who have not been to the Richmond Oval, it is quite an experience. The event was organized by Eric Jackman and included Co-head Judges Anna Lee and Cath Fairlie, Head Route Setter Simon Parton, and Technical Delegate Terry Spurrell. Below are the results of the competition.
