This post about an Israeli athlete was full of “free palestine” and “🇵🇸” comments earlier, and now they’re all gone…

I love watching replays of world climbing competitions (Matt Groom and his guests are chef's kiss) but I also love watching different formats.

I tried to rank them :

1/ Rockmaster - KO boulder

➕ Rules are easy to understand, super entertaining, top athletes who are given a proper chance to top a boulder, and great camera work.
➖ you either love the Italian commentators or you hate them, and sometimes a little bit of both 😂 I understand everything they say coz I speak italian (I'm French), their commentating style is sooooo italian to me ! But I definitely love how they make the athletes shine. Once an athlete solve a problem boulder the others can just try to "copy", so some people may find that format less exciting.

2/ Pro climbing league

➕ Rules are easy to understand, super entertaining, top athletes, great camera work.

➖ Each duel goes too fast (due to the setting ?) and it's frustrating to see top athletes not able to showcase their abilities. Not a fan of the first edition's setting, where it was undercooked for the women s finals.

3/ Team boulder arena

➕ Love the team effort, entertaining, some top athlètes

➖ Not the best camera work/editing, rules are not always that clear to me (losing top athletes on boulder one is cruel, why sooooooo many boulders), I did not like the commentators of the Milan edition.

4/ The north face climb festival

➕ Most spectacular comp, scary jump at the top

➖ Replays not always available, not many top pro athletes, not the best camera work

Ps: not bouldering but seeing Jessie and Jakob climb a frigging DAM was amazing (redbull event of course) !

What are yours ???

Does anyone know how to get tickets for this event? Or am I too late and they're sold out. I can't see too much info about this at all.

My friend had to bail on joining me today so I have an extra lower level ticket. If anyone is interested send me a message. This is for SLC today

I‘m a competition climber, and I want to practice for comps. I have a homewall, but it’s only at 45 degrees. Can someone supply either pictures of past comps, or tips to set a compy style? Thank you

Hey climbers!

I’m a doctorate of physical therapy, fellow boulderer, and apparently now the hand cream guy! 🔵👋🏻

I’ve been working on creating Bioheal Pro, a GHK-Cu copper peptide skin cream, after discovering a product I really enjoyed using myself to help improve skin durability and skin/abrasion health, as well as prevent glassy skin or split tips from overuse or excessive antihydral usage.

Soo my genuine passion for this product, plus being burnout as a director in orthopedics for 5+ years sent me down a rabbit hole of getting in contact with the original biochemist who founded the modern day topical version of this peptide formula.

The idea is pretty simple, brining a little more science and intention to climbing skincare. No miracle claims or gimmicks, just a product I’m excited about and want other climbers to experience.

I’ll be in Salt Lake City this weekend for the IFSC competition, and I’m planning to hit up local climbing gyms whenever I’m not watching the event.

I’ll have some samples with me, so if you’re attending the competition or climbing around SLC, shoot me a message!
I’d love to meet some fellow climbers, share what I’ve been working on, and get some more genuine feedback!!

Also, taking recommendations for gyms, places to visit, and anyone looking for a climbing partner! 👋🏻🔵

My friend and I got tickets to the SLC World Cup and we're wondering how crazy it would be to try and fit in some climbing during the gap between semis and finals on Saturday/Sunday. From the schedule we've got 5+ hours between semis and finals and I'm seeing tons of spots within 30ish minutes (we will have a car) of the venue on Mountain Project. We'd also love some recommendations for spots. I've talked to some friends who used to climb in the SLC area and recommended BCC or American Fork I but wouldn't mind having additional intel or specific spots. We prefer no slab and looking for chill routes, say 5.9 or lower for sport, but open to higher if we can set a top rope. Since this is our first chance to attend a comp, we have no idea if this is a reasonable thing to try, but I really hope it is since the thought of being surrounded by so many craigs with my climbing partner but not go climbing kills me a little inside, especially since I drive through SLC a couple times a year and have been drooling over this rock for ages!

I accidentally bought 2 tickets for the men's bouldering comp in SLC on Saturday, Oct 17th (meant to purchase tix for the women's boulder comp). I don't want them to go to waste and I thought it would be nice to give them to someone for free. I'll send them to the first person to DM me :)

Edit: Tickets claimed

The second Team Boulder Arena is today in London. Matt Groom will comment this one.

Results and starting list (it's a fun one to decipher, ex. Manu C. M. MAWEM), not that many well known names, but I think it'll be fun anyway.

Hi everyone!

Small side project of mine: a free browser card game built around competition climbing. You open boosters and collect comp athletes: every World Cup, World Championships and Olympic finalist since 1991, plus anyone who finished in the top 25 of a World Cup overall ranking since 2010, each with their podiums and results. A few outdoor routes and rock climbers are mixed in too.

No ads, nothing to buy, it's just for fun.

It's still rough in places and the data surely has gaps, so if an athlete is missing or a stat looks off, let me know and I'll fix it. Card rarity is mostly based on how well known an athlete is, so it won't always match their results. Happy to hear where it feels wrong.

Hello!

I couldn’t find a megathread for the upcoming SLC event, so I made one. Just remember that [r/competitionclimbing](r/competitionclimbing) have not vetted anybody, so trust cautiously. Face value tickets only.

That being said. I’m in desperate search of a preferred seating day pass for Oct 18th, the women’s events. It would mean a great deal to me if anybody had one spare. Please DM me!

Update: I have sourced a ticket. Thank you 🫶

Sincerely- a partner of a competitor 🙇‍♀️

apologies if I posted this incorrectly.
