Canadians Finish Strong at Ouray Mixed Comp

It was in 2012 that Ontario’s Nathan Kutcher took the Ouray Mixed Comp by storm with a big win. Five years later and he has finished with a strong second place for the Men.

For the Women, Canadians Sarah Hueniken finished in second and Rebecca Lewis finished in seventh and in an impressive second in the Sped comp on Sunday. Watch highlights from the 2016 below and Instagram posts from Ouray’s day one.

We're having a blast at the Ouray Ice Festival! The Elite Mixed Climbing Competition was fun to watch! We love cheering for friends and seeing everyone crush! Congrats Nathan on making it to the top. #ourayicefestival2017 #sanjuanmountainguides #thelocalexperts #ourayicefest

Climbing in the mixed climbing competition in Ouray, Colorado yesterday. I climbed the bottom super fast and got to the panel quickly, where I learned I can't hold onto sloppers wearing gloves for very long!
