Coleman & Mascarenas win US Bouldering Champs

Last year, Nathaniel Coleman and Megan Mascarenas did make the biggest breakthrough at the Bouldering competition scene and they started 2016 up in the best way by winning the US Nationals. Among the male, five guys topped out three out of four boulders and they were separated depending on how they were ranked on each boulder. This means that US Nationals' scoring is not the same as at the IFSC comps. Among the female, Megan and Alex Puccio were kind of superior and in the final, Alex had better a ranking score but Megan topped one more boulder. Video replay 1. Nathaniel Coleman - Megan Mascarenas 2. Jimmy Webb - Alex Puccio 3. Carlo Traversi - Claire Blurfeind Complete results Alex and Daniel Woods, who was #4, had previously won nine Nationals straight. The Bouldering WC starts in Switzerland on the 15th of April.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
