Well that is a wrap of the 2017 Canadian Open Bouldering Nationals from Rock Jungle in Edmonton, AB. Sean McColl lands on the top of the podium as a nine time champion next to Alannah Yip, who holds her second Canadian title.
As a reflection into our climbing athletes heading towards the world stage in 2020, both of these climbers started their climbing careers on The Edge Climbing Team in North Vancouver and both worked under the tutelage of Coach Andrew Wilson and Mike Doyle. As our Canadian athletes set their sites on 2020, the results are a testament to the value of good coaching in the early years of a competitors life.
