In celebration of our 3rd birthday we hosted our annual Haus Party bouldering competition on Saturday 20th July here at Blochaus Climbing, Manchester.
In typical BlocHaus spirit we had something for everyone, no mater what ability or age. Keeping it serious with 25 Qualifier blocs we also threw a curve ball into the mix with 5 ‘party blocs’. Where we saw a Zip wire, Rope swings, handstand starts and a crowd favourite; dyno comp.
With a great turn out we not only saw a lot of the friendly BlocHaus regulars but people from all over the north-west and much further… Some here for the great day out and others fighting for the chance to take the 1st place trophy and cash prize home.
This was the biggest event we have hosted here at BlocHaus Climbing, with all competitors receiving a limited-edition t-shirt, so make sure you keep your eyes peeled and ask them how awesome Haus Party 2024 was! Don’t just believe our word.
Popping up at the event to keep us fed was ‘Dough so GOOD’, experts in tasty napoleon style pizza, which was sooooo good!
We were also accompanied on the day by our friends from Dark Venture, Movement and Wellbeing Clinic, Tenzing, CAC, Crag Swag, Made By Diet. Helping climbers stay injury free, hydrated, chalked up and blinged up.
Following an awesome qualifier session the mere mortals had a bit of time to relax, laugh and enjoy a nice cold bevvy while the finalist got ready to battle it for the chance of a podium spot.
In the finals, both the male and female categories showed everyone why they were there; the pure strength, dedication and talent across all ages was insane. The nail-biting men’s final saw Tom Jenkinson and Jen Wood absolutely dominate with a total of 3 tops and walk away with first place. Then for the males we had Fergus scrape a second place over Sam by achieving one extra zone and in the females we had Jessica and Bella battling but in the end they were so evenly matched they took joint second.
We would like to give a huge shout out to the small team of amazing staff that managed to pull off this phenomenal event and to thank Tenya and Impact route setting for lending us some awesome macros to make this event even better.
Thanks for everyone who turned up and we are already looking forward to Haus Party 2025! Until then make sure you stay up to date with upcoming events by visiting our event page on the website.
