At Big Tree Campervans we're passionate about creating exciting adventures, and passionate about Scotland. So we're delighted to be sponsoring again the '2011 Scottish Tooling Series' - a major indoor climbing competion which is all about using winter climbing skills, techniques and equipment on indoor climbing walls. There are four rounds in the series -Ice Factor at Kinlochleven on 8th Oct; Glenmore Lodge on 22nd Oct; Transition Extreme in Aberdeen on 29th Oct; and the finals at The Glasgow Climbing Centre on 12th November.
Last weekend's first round at The Ice Factor was a sell-out, and saw some incredible performances from folk like Dennis Van Hoek, Marianne Van Der Steen, and Harry Holmes.... and I even managed a humble third place in the adult vet category! We'll have more of the next two events at Glenmore and Transition Extreme, and of course the final in Glasgow in November!Big Tree Campervans are sponsoring the overall series, and putting up a great prize: 'STS On The Ben' - the STS adult winners and selected runners up will be based at the CIC hut on Ben Nevis for a weekend of awesome mixed climbing on one of the most famous winter climbing venues in the world. We'll hopefully have some great blogs to share from this, as well as some cool film footage from top european adventure film-maker, Hans Hornberger who's coming over from Germany to film the STS On The Ben.
