In an unusual climbing competition, African style, Tim Connelly and Spanish climber Lucas Gonzales wound up winning the event. Dubbed the Maxidash, the competition involves climbers climbing as many routes as possible in one climbing area, driving like mad on dirt roads (by any route) to the next climbing area. Five climbing areas and 350 km of driving later, Lucas and Connelly came out in 2nd place behind the local reigning champions. The next day after a recount that turned up a route that hadnt been counted, it turns out, the two had won.
Tim had the battle scar to prove it as well. The forgotten climb was called unlawful entry and Tim was stung in the ear by a wasp while leading the route - ouch!
Nice work Tim and Lucas!
