Climbing club “Akademik”, Sofia was the host of the third annual Indoor Boulder Meeting in the Sofia University climbing gym. More than 90 climbers from all over Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and Serbia took part at the meeting exchangeing experience and contacts in the spirit of friendship and good will. Along with the meeting an informal boulder competition was held with prizes for the winners.

The Meeting started in Saturday at 9.30am and for the comp were prepared 36 boulder problems. After 8 hour of climbing every boulder was sent and Bojko Lalov did every problem but o­ne. Still this was not enough as Marian Georgiev was the o­nly o­ne to send problem 5 which gave him the full points for it and led him to the top of the ranking. Radka Petrova was superior among the women. The meeting was celbrated with a massive party in club PARK - o­nly the strongest survived...

The next day there was a Big Jump competition, where last year champion Mincho Petkov droped off the ranking surprisingly early. In the end Blagovest Lazarov took the first place. Petia Garbova was first among the women.
