Over the weekend, members of OGHS and our bouldering club took part in the National Indoor Bouldering Series (NIBS) Round 2. This event took place at the brand-new Resistance Bouldering Gym, and it was the first time any of us had seen it, which was quite exciting! It was a fun day of competition, with two hours to complete the hardest climbs the individual competitors could do. Everyone challenged themselves and each other and got some amazing results.

Thank you to everyone who competed, and thank you to Mr Bleckinger and Mr Cassidy for all the training and coaching leading up to this event. And congratulations to everyone who participated!

As well as Dunedin, we had two of our students go to NIBS Round 1 in Wellington earlier this term. A special shoutout to them for their achievements as well.

We look forward to seeing the results from any students who take part in Round 3 and/or 4!
