The Tower Team were at Ratho at the where 187 of the countrys best young climbers were climbing in The BMC Youth Climbing Series National Finals.

In the Boys 8-10 age group, Alex Norton took 3rd place in his first National Final, Alex was the smallest man climbing and used his technical abialty, strength and determination to push his way into 3rd in what was a very close battle at the top!

In the Boys 13 - 15 we had two competitors in the shape of Will Smith (6th) and Orrin Coley (8th). This age group is always a very tough battle and usually take the hardest lines on the steepest walls with the strongest climbers and with the task set on finishing in the top 10 Will and Orrin took the the task to hand and climbed very well.

The only girl that was representing the Tower Team was Alice Killington, in a very hard group, she battled her was to 13th place, with only 20 points between Alice (13th) and 2nd spot it was a very close run competition.

The Final is the kick off to the season for the team, with the BBC's, Youth Open, BLCC's and Combo event all in coming months aswell as the start of the MY climbing Series, they have alot to train for!
