Watch Canadian Zach Richardson in Youth World Finals

The Youth World Championships are taking place in Moscow, Russia, and Canadian Zach Richardson has advanced to Finals in Male Youth A Boulder.

Richardson’s home gym is Climber’s Rock in Burlington, Ontario, and this is the first time he’ll be competing in Finals on the world stage.

Richardson took the win at Canadian Youth Nationals earlier this year against a strong field including Guy McNamee and Aidan Doyle.

I was ready to fight that volume before I was coming off the wall? Super psyched to take the win here at this Youth Nationals!! Congrats @guymcnamee and @aidan_doyle555 for rounding out the podium! • • ?: thanks to @matt.chapman.17 @climbersrock #climbersrock #climbing #bouldering #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #competition #delireescalade #youth #nationals
