The IFSC World Cup season started last week with a bouldering stop in Meiringen,Switzerland to kick things off. Representing Canada was our two top athletes, Sean McColl and Alannah Yip. With a strong start in qualifications, Alannah Yip made semi-finals, topping one problem and placing 15th in a strong field of seasoned competitors. Sean McColl placed 24th in the qualifications round, still with four tops but leaving him just shy of semi-finals.
