Five Ten dominates the Boulder World Cup

Five Ten has published Boulder World Cup Mid-Season Update including many nice pictures and videos linked. As a matter of a fact, Five Ten is the leading shoe manufacturer in the overall rankings. (Coxsey #1, Garnbret #2, Narasaki #3 and Fujii #5: La Sportiva is second with Watabe #1, Noguchi #4, Chon #4, Klingler #5) "Janja Garnbert whose main focus is actually lead climbing is just 8 points behind Shauna Coxsey in the overall rankings. In the men, Keita Watabe sits in first overall with Aleksei Rubtsov and Tomoa Narasaki in second and third respectively. With just three rounds to go in Vail (USA), Navi Mumbai (India) and Munich (Germany) it would appear to be all to play for in both the menโ€™s and womenโ€™s."

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
