A brief review…
| Info | It was the 14th continuous HCO edition, developing Herculane (Cerna Valley) into Romania’s main sport climbing area. The old Magnolia sector was re-bolted and new routes were equipped. To avoid the rainy days that were present on the 1st of May, the traditional HCO date, we moved the competition to the end of September. |

| Re-bolted routes | 12 old routes were re-bolted and the chipped holds were repaired as well as possible. | |
