THE MASTERS
Comp #1: The Greatest Flasher
January 21, 2023
Thanks everyone for a great event! See below for results, photos, recap, etc.
Have you ever stepped up to a climb and suddenly felt the overwhelming thump of your heart beat steadily gaining speed? Maybe your mouth becomes dry and your breathing deepens. This competition is all about that critical moment when you bury your fears and give your absolute best effort on the first try.
The Greatest Flasher is the first competition bouldering event to fully embrace and reward this “one shot, one kill” mentality to the fullest. Citizen competitors will compete in a Modified Red-point Round, favoring ‘first try’ ascents, while Open competitors will be forced to perform their best under the most strict circumstances: one try per boulder.
