Four Tops for the Wins at Tour de Bloc Championships 2019

The 2019 Tour de Bloc championships took place on April 27 at Up the Bloc in Montreal and we got some fresh faces on the podium. Eva Briggs and Dylan Barks took the wins for their first gold at the Tour de Bloc championships. To take top spots, both were the only in their category to send all four finals problems.

The event capped a great season of hard bouldering comps in Canada. Check out some great photos from Will Johnson below.

And now the remaining finalists. Had the pleasure of shooting these strong men and women tonight (some much younger than others…) ? One of the many things I love about our sport, even at the WC level the age difference can be huge. Many congratulations to all the finalists and the two winners @dylanbarks95 and @evangelinabriggs ???? #compclimbing #tourdebloc #tdb4life #bouldering #climbing #thefuture #upthebloc

Psyche was high tonight for sure! Super pumped for @brandonbarraclough on a strong comp and @justinemccarney narrowly missing the podium. Both finished in fourth position and fought hard on each Boulder ???? #tdb #finals #championships #tryhard #bouldering #compseason #rockclimbing #tdb4life #upthebloc
