The highly anticipated Bouldering World Cup held in Vail again this year was another huge success. With Daniel Woods from USA taking home the GOLD!! This was also my first year ever competing in an adult Bouldering World Cup. I was super excited to compete against some of the best climbers in the world. Seeing as this was my first World Cup I didn't really know what to expect in forms of how the problems were going to be for qualifiers. I knew they were going to be hard, but I did not expect them to be crazy hard and they were crazy hard!! I did, however, manage to get two bonus holds on the first problem and on the third problem which I was super happy about. Even though I did not do as well as I would have wanted to I still had a really fun time climbing and watching the pros do their stuff on the wall. It was a really good learning experience for me. I now know what I need to improve on and what to expect for next year. This gives me that much more motivation to go home and train to hopefully make podium in the near future.
