On Sunday 15 April the DHS team took part in the Final Round of the Bouldering League at Southern Rock Climbing Gym in New Germany. As this is a world class venue, the team was faced with very challenging problems in the preliminary round which also consolidates points from the previous rounds held at Southern Rock and Westville Girls’ High.
After the preliminary morning round the top five in each league and age group were chosen to take part in a final round where they were faced with five problems and had 5 minutes to achieve the best possible score in each.

As the final round levels the playing field the DHS climbers took advantage of this and really performed well. This Sunday the team takes part in the third round of the Lead Competition at Kloof High School and we wish them well for this round.
Final positions were as follows:
U19 A League:
Chris James 2nd
(This places him second in the province.)
Kaiden Naidoo 4th
U17 B League:
Mohammed Suleman 2nd
Jaden Naidoo 3rd
Ethan Jacobs 4th
U15 A League:
Ethan Wellen 4th
U15 B League:
Shakeel Ganie 2nd
