2022 TAKE TWO WRAPPED - ‘IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO’

How many competitors took part in Take Two 2022? How many boulders were set? How many climbs were sent? How many of these were flashes (completed climbs on a first attempt)? 

‍

Another year of Take Two complete.  Take Two event is a yearly social bouldering competition held at NOMAD. It is an inclusive event that culminates in a massive finals night. 

‍

This year, we are unveiling insights and stats from our Take Two 2022 event that ran across March. We hope you enjoy exploring the stats below!

‍

Thank you to all our competitors, members, staff and helpers for making this possible. We hope you find these insights as interesting as we did. We look to make 2023 bigger and better.

‍

Our Setters

230

Climbs were set by our route setting team. The setting team went into hyperdrive. They created a fast paced environment where climbs would consistently pop up and disappear. If you didn’t complete a climb before it got reset you wouldn’t have the chance to add that climb to your score again.

‍

Our DJ

Hours of DJing across the night. That is longer than it took for Alex Honnold to free solo el Capitan (884m of wall). He would have made it back to enjoy the last 3 hours of a quality DJ set.
