Results from Nationals




 


We had an incredible time out in Colorado this weekend. It was nice to fly out on Wednesday night and have Thurs and Fri to acclimatize before climbing hard.
On Saturday morning at The Spot, Luke completed his qualifying round strong enough to secure a place in finals.
From there we ran over to The Boulder Rock Club for the Citizen's Comp. JP climbed strong and finished 4th in Intermediate, as probably the youngest in his category. I finished 9th in Advanced, which I was happy with as well.
As soon as the Citizen's Comp ended, we ran Ben back to the Spot for his qualifying round. Ben was the very last competitor of the day to go, so he was left with the greasiest holds. He did his best against very strong competition, but missed the cut for finals.
On Sunday morning, Luke competed in finals, finishing the first problem and making good progress on the second. He finished 8th overall, which is a great showing.
It was an incredible experience to be a part of. A real wake up call to how much stronger we can really be if we put our minds to it.
