- If you're trying to make
a first ascent,

00:10:00,683 --> 00:10:02,435
climbing order is key
259
00:10:02,518 --> 00:10:04,186
because you don't want to go
too late in the running order,
260
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:05,980
'cause if someone else sends
before you,
261
00:10:06,063 --> 00:10:08,065
then you just lost your shot
at the first ascent.
262
00:10:08,149 --> 00:10:10,401
- This route that I put up
is very technical.
263
00:10:10,484 --> 00:10:12,320
And it's really gonna challenge
your footwork.
264
00:10:12,403 --> 00:10:14,822
So we're gonna give you
a no-hands boulder problem.

00:10:16,407 --> 00:10:17,742
that's where you need
to get to.
267
00:10:17,825 --> 00:10:19,744
If you fall short of that top,

00:10:19,827 --> 00:10:22,163
I'll be scoring your highest
controlled foothold.

- All right.
Robyn, you're up first.
274
00:10:33,632 --> 00:10:37,678
- A no-hands bolder problem is
climbing a slab with no hands.
275
00:10:37,762 --> 00:10:40,639
The only two things
that can touch the wall are,
276
00:10:40,723 --> 00:10:42,433
you know,
your left and your right foot.
277
00:10:42,516 --> 00:10:44,810
It's all about adapting
to this soft sandstone
278
00:10:44,894 --> 00:10:48,522
and learning how
to climb gingerly.
279
00:10:48,606 --> 00:10:49,690
- Yeah!
- Nice!
280
00:10:49,774 --> 00:10:50,983
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Good job. Good job.

00:10:52,318 --> 00:10:53,486
- Very nice.

Come on. Come on.

00:10:54,987 --> 00:10:57,114
- Very good.
- Nice, nice.
285
00:10:57,198 --> 00:10:58,532
- Nice, Robyn.
286
00:10:58,616 --> 00:11:00,201
When you're bouldering
with no hands,
287
00:11:00,284 --> 00:11:02,453
balance really plays
a large role.
288
00:11:02,536 --> 00:11:03,913
So that means
they're really gonna
289
00:11:03,996 --> 00:11:06,332
have to rely
on stabilizing themselves
290
00:11:06,415 --> 00:11:09,293
when they're standing
on footholds.
291
00:11:09,377 --> 00:11:11,295
Oh, she just lost
her balance a little.
292
00:11:11,379 --> 00:11:12,880
- There it is.
[laughter]
293
00:11:12,963 --> 00:11:14,799
- For some people,
it's really hard to do
294
00:11:14,882 --> 00:11:16,425
because they have a hard time
295
00:11:16,509 --> 00:11:18,427
trusting that
their foot won't slip.
296
00:11:18,511 --> 00:11:19,845
- Yeah, you got this.
- Nice, man.
297
00:11:19,929 --> 00:11:21,889
- Come on down.
- Come on, come on.
298
00:11:21,972 --> 00:11:22,890

[laughter, chatter]
I came in too hot.
301
00:11:27,103 --> 00:11:29,814
- One of the biggest mistakes
people make is
302
00:11:29,897 --> 00:11:31,857
by not applying
enough pressure.
303
00:11:31,941 --> 00:11:33,526
- Here we go. Here we go.
- Oh. shit!
304
00:11:33,609 --> 00:11:35,319
- Nice, Alice.
- This is like wakeboarding.
305
00:11:35,403 --> 00:11:37,029
- They're afraid
that if they apply
306
00:11:37,113 --> 00:11:38,572
the pressure, they'll slip.
307
00:11:38,656 --> 00:11:40,366
But in reality,
the more pressure you apply,
308
00:11:40,449 --> 00:11:42,201
the less likely you are
to slip.
309
00:11:42,284 --> 00:11:44,578
- Eek! Oh, God.
310
00:11:44,662 --> 00:11:46,330
- Oh, man.
311
00:11:46,414 --> 00:11:48,749
A little too far below the
finish, but really good effort.
312
00:11:48,833 --> 00:11:51,001
And at least she didn't
come grating down.
313
00:11:51,085 --> 00:11:52,878
- That was actually
kind of a scary fall.
314
00:11:52,962 --> 00:11:54,130
- Good effort.

00:11:54,213 --> 00:11:55,923

317
00:11:57,383 --> 00:11:58,884

He's a little
chaotic sometimes.
321
00:12:05,891 --> 00:12:08,769

at the front of the line
353

give me the best chance

362

about it,

getting the first ascent.
365

And I think the order
that I would like to follow
366
00:13:50,788 --> 00:13:53,290
would be, like, Cat going first
367
00:13:53,374 --> 00:13:55,000

368
00:13:55,084 --> 00:13:56,752

What's so important to me...
400
00:15:19,710 --> 00:15:23,088
it's showing that...
401
00:15:23,172 --> 00:15:24,506
you don't have to be white,
402

405
00:15:32,473 --> 00:15:33,974
You can ask any climber,
406
00:15:34,058 --> 00:15:36,226

of this round of competition
898
00:36:47,914 --> 00:36:50,833
is a 65-foot
ribbed tufa formation,
