Melbourne Bouldering Series



A Sport Climbing Association presentation

At each competition climbers will be asked to nominate their team. The two highest
placed climbers from each team, in each category, will earn points for their team 

toward the Team Cup to be presented to the winning team at the end of the series.

Details of the Team Cup and the great Revolution climbing hold packs the winning 
teams will be taking home to their gyms will be announced here shortly.

We can know announce that we are giving lucky door prizes amounting to15 sample Revolution hold packs for every bouldering series event in Melbourne . If you do not have a home wall give them to a mate that does or donate them to your local gym, I am sure Christian at the Lactic Factory will put them to good use. Better Holds = Better Routes.

Round 1 The Lactic Factory Abbotsford Sun. 3rd June
Round 2 The Rock Geelong Sat. 3rd Sept.
Round 3 Bayside Rock Carrum Downs Sat. 10 Sept. (TBC)

A big day for Trackcare


Today, we reached an important milestone at the BJR Climbing Equipment shop in Blackheath. Everybody who has bought something from us can take credit for their worthwhile contribution today- helping out TrackCare.

A helicopter moved over 90 large bags, each weighing a mega amount and packed to the max with sandstone, fencing materials and concrete mix.  The local Blue Mountains Council called in the lifting power of a kick arse chopper for most of today, piloted by an absolute gun - you now know what 5% of your purchases at BJR paid have contributed towards!



Today’s effort focused on access tracks at the popular climbing areas of Mount York, Upper Shipley and Centennial Glen, Blackheath, NSW.  



The brands that our BJR Climbing Equipment customers have purchased, which have done the bulk of the work towards this TrackCare project, are: BJR (ie. everyone that has dropped their shoes in for repairs), Revolution, Mad Rock, Organic, 5.10 Stealth Rubber, Verve, Petzl, Pusher and Vibram. Honorable mentions go to Matt Adams at Expedition Equipment (DMM, WildCountry and Moon) and Jeff Porter at Spelean (Five Ten and Omega Pacific) for being amazing reps for their brands and awesome supporters. Special thanks to our mates at Beastmaker – these two wooden training boards have contributed so much, to this TrackCare project.

Of course, none of this would happen without the support of the awesome team of volunteers that show up on the TrackCare working bee days and the Special Ops guys at Blue Mountains Council, who really make it all happen – Damo, who steers the ship and his crew Colin, Elmar, Keiran, Martin, Simon and all the boyz.



Finally, a special thanks to the Blue Mountains City Council General Manager, who had the leadership to push on with the project, regardless of the delays due to bad weather and the red tape…. Good on you, for getting the job done!
