Competition season has officially started. Thanks to @arqmountaincentre for hosting the first #ACA competition of the season and thanks to the route setters for making some awesome qualifiers and finals problems. Great way to start off the season with a first place! Always nice to share the podium with crushers @eva_l_thompson and @lisa.vva. Here is a video of my flash on women’s boulder 2. I love climbing on these @flathold volumes! Next competition at @bolderclimbing in a few weeks. . #calgaryclimbing #movetomove #missionhealthclinic . @lasportivana @metoliusclimbing @calgaryclimbing @move.to.move
