Held at the largest climbing gym in Africa and with phenomenal route setting, the event fulfilled its promise of being a nail-biting competition between the top Youth A sport climbing athletes in South Africa. In the end, Angela Eckhardt and David Naudé topped the Combined podium after an entire day of continuous Bouldering, Lead and Speed climbing.
