6 Lessons I Learned From the Bouldering Competition in a Redpoint Format

I participated in a local bouldering competition and competed in the women's advanced category. I have competed a few times before, and this time, I particularly felt that I was able to strategize well to place third in the category. In this video, I hope to share some lessons I learned during the comp.

I joined my gym's comp yesterday for beginner category. I had no idea what 'redpoint format' was and I didn't know what to expect. I took a peek at the restricted comp area a day before and every route looked impossible, and I didn't think I could be able to top any of those. I watched this video a day before the comp and it was super helpful. Every tip covered in this video was all applicable. I used the tips like arrive early, warm up well, observe/simulate/flash and etc. At the comp, I did far better than my normal climbing capabilities. Everything went exactly the way you described in the video. Out of 6, I flashed 4 and zoned 2. The two routes that I only zoned required balance and better footwork which are my weaknesses. I didn't win anything (I know I was very close though. The guy who won the 3rd place also topped 4 and zoned 2.), but I had a great time and learned a lot. This video helped me tremendously to be prepared. Thank you!
