IFSC Lead World Cup Briançon: Finals Replay


26 Jul, 2016
Thought this was a really interesting comp, despite the weather, for a number of reasons. It was interesting to see Yann's routesetting at a World Cup. I thought it was well done and interesting to watch, not often you get a final's route with such a good rest on (like the men's) so good to see something a little different from the norm. Janja's top was particularly impressive, after drying her boots halfway up, then fighting through the first bit of the top section, there was that massive runout to the anchors on wet holds. I presume that route must have been at least 8b. I thought the women's event might mess up after multiple tops in the first two rounds but it all came good in the end with no need to use time as a measure of position. And interesting co commentary by Yann and Natalie in the different rounds. Even Mr. Boscoe seemed to be better commentating at this event. Will the Slovenians take the double this year?
