THE BOULDER FIELD MASTERS
Comp #2: The Force Majeure
September 20/21, 2019 Highlights
The legendary British climber Ben Moon once said that “Technique is no substitute for power.” This statement most clearly defines what this competition represents. In an era where climbers have four minutes to solve complex coordination combos and the counterintuitive intricacies of the latest dual-tex volume labyrinth, it seems that pure power has taken a backseat. Gone are the PCA days of Chris Sharma and Lisa Rands battling their way through straight-forward, yet viciously powerful moves culminating in wild throws to the lip of the wall. Until now.
This is our throw-back to the years in which pulling down hard was paramount to the tricks, parkour, and ninja-style moves that seem to dominate our comp world these days. Let’s see who is the strongest competitor out there. You’ve got indomitable fingers of steel and the bellowing battle cry of a seasoned warrior? Prove it.
