Kai Harada is Men’s Boulder World Champion for 2018

A post shared by KAI HARADA (@kai_hrd) on

After some of the best climbers in the world missed semifinals and then finals, the final six climbers competed on big and dynamic problems.

All six routes involved huge moves on small holds and Kai Harada was the only to top all four.

After his flash on problem four, he fell to the mat and had an emotional celebration to a standing ovation.
