The Winners of the Exhibition / Pro Competition. (L-R) Nathan (2nd), Pierre (1st), and Dennis (3rd).

Nathan Kutcher pulling through the big ice roof and into the cave. Despite losing a tool higher up, Nathan was still able to complete the route. Nathan took 3rd place and one of only 4 climbers to complete the route. Never give up! You never know what is possible until you try. Way to go Nathan!
It was one of the warmer competitions I can remember and Marianne Van Der Steen took full advantage of the warm weather. Marianne came in 4th overall. She commented that “the climbing in the world cup was easy compared to this route”.
