The Flying Geckos hosted the 2016 National Lead Championships at the YMCA Climbing Centre, with over 120 competitors from all over NZ.
Congratulations to all the winning competitors and indeed all the entrants and attendees who really made the weekend come alive.
The route-setting from the Climbing NZ team was awesome, proving challenging for all the divisions.
We owe a huge thanks to all our sponsors, particularly The Southern Trust, along with the YMCA Adventure Centre, Bivouac Outdoor, Black Diamond, Cactus Outdoor, Chalky Digits, Christchurch City Council, Earth Sea Sky and Uprising Gym.
Big thanks to the Geckos committee members (particularly Marty Anderson) and parents for helping make the event run so smoothly.
