On the eve of the World Cup season beginning where all roads will lead to the Olympics in Paris, 12 of the worlds strongest climbers gathered in... Hull.

Rockcity and Serious Climbing Distribution kindly provided a training camp that included some of the Worlds best selection of climbings holds that were expertly set by B-Pump owner Katsu and renowned setter Tsukuru.

There were strong Japanese, German and GB climbers that included no less that 6 World Cup gold medallists.

Climbers included Sorato Anraku, Miho Nonaka, Yoshiyuki Ogata, Daiki Sano, Alex Megos, Yannick Flohe, Max Milne, Hamish McArthur, Jack MacDougall, Jim Pope, Erin McNiece and Toby Roberts.

When the training session was about to begin there was suddenly a surprise announcement...

An insane 1 minute knockout format with a full test of Balance, Coordination and Power.
