Belgian Youth Cup  (21 and 28 January 2012)

The first competition of the Belgian Youth Cup took place in Klimax (Puurs). A lot of climbers participated. I could top out the qualification routes. The final route was hard, but I could top out for which I am very happy. Chloé Caulier became 2nd and Manon Matheys 3rd.

The second competition took place in l’Escale (Arlon). It was a great competition and together with Chloé Caulier I could top out the qualification routes. The second one I climbed too slow, I did only have 1 second left! The final route was very hard and technical. It went well but the last move was very difficult. I fell into the tophold and my feet came of the wall but I was very happy that I could top out. Chloé Caulier did a very good attempt to top the route but unfortunately she fell at the last move. She became 2nd and Manon Matheys became 3rd.

My friend Celine Cuypers also won the Belgian Youth Cup in Youth B!
