I never knew climbing competitions like this existed. All of these competitors are incredible.

In case you're wondering, I'm the guy who won it for the mens.

The girl here is "Megan Mascarenas" from the USA. This was the final "boulder" and whoever does it first, or faster is the winner.

Here is a LINK to her final Video!

Cheers,

Sean McColl
