Boulder contest in Prestranek (Slovenia)

This weeken we had an interesting, almost 'all day long' boulder contest on pretty new wall in Prestranek. And... It was really cool! :D

Qualifications were kind of open format with 20 boulders and 2,5 hour to climb. Bouth, men and women had same problems to do. For me, it was quite (too) hard to finish them all, but at the end I found myself on 11 tops.

Finals were placed later in evening, with special night athmosphere, neon lights and holds and also little different rules that we are used to. There were 6 finalists in each category. First we had 3 boudlers with 3 tries per each. Best 3 climbers after this part countinued to 'high ball' boulder with unlimited trys. It was just matter, who will finish it first.

Domen Škofic - only one to finish all 3 boulders before last 'challange'

By women, unfortunately non of us managed to touch the top :(. But, based on qualifications, 3 boudlers and highest point of this 'challange' I was placed 1st. 2nd and 3rd places went to two young and really good girls - Janaja Garnbret and Julija Kruder.
