Results
This years event was an absolute success. Over 210 competitors entered and had 183 boulder problems to climb. Once again there were a few overseas entrants including Dave Birkett from the UK. The local de Doorns community worked together to host a very well organised event from registration, driving all the competitors up and down the now famous 4x4 track to a good prize giving and braai afterwards.

Dave Birkett won the R2000 in Mens with Clinton Martinengo second,  Paul Brouard third and Evan Wiercx fourth. In Womens Robin Holwill took first place, Mary Jenner second and Lizanne Tucker in third. See the Complete Results.
