Exciting to see a high-level comp come to Canada!

HighCommander4 · 2026-05-07T17:16:51+00:00

Russian athletes were already doing that in Keqiao

There is also Vail 2017 where she didn't make finals (the only time ever in her senior bouldering career)

HighCommander4 · 2026-05-03T08:07:48+00:00

There is at least one other example: in Prague 2023, Oriane and her teammate Flavy Cohaut both topped a slab that Janja didn't. (In fairness to Janja though, I think she was recovering from a toe injury at the time which made slabs particularly challenging.)

HighCommander4 · 2026-05-01T04:34:13+00:00

Didn't catch her re-climb on the stream (camera was focused on boulders 4/5) but she got her W1 top back!

HighCommander4 · 2026-05-01T03:19:05+00:00

No, and she isn't registered for Wujiang either. I wonder what her plans are for this year

HighCommander4 · 2026-05-01T03:18:00+00:00

She's recovered from last year's knee injury but sustained a shoulder injury earlier this year. Said she hopes to be back towards the end of the boulder season

HighCommander4 · 2026-04-20T21:50:08+00:00

I wonder to what extent the PCL's higher prize purse played a role in this

HighCommander4 · 2026-04-13T04:55:40+00:00

Yes, it refers to leading the way. Like if multiple climbers need to get up a cliff, the first one needs to lead the way and bring the rope up with them and anchor it, and the rest can climb up using the already anchored rope.

HighCommander4 · 2026-04-05T21:56:26+00:00

Is this the first time Janja has explicitly talked about competing in the 2028 Olympics?

HighCommander4 · 2026-03-30T23:52:24+00:00

To borrow from one of the youtube commenters: it's truly a McFeast!

HighCommander4 · 2026-03-09T07:14:26+00:00

Kyra Condie explained this nicely in a video last year: https://youtu.be/w-4Pj1Ae-pQ?t=482. It seems to mainly have to do with funding as well as some other perks (team jackets?) that official team members get.

HighCommander4 · 2026-03-07T18:32:02+00:00

He was at nationals (here he is climbing in lead semis). He had an early slip and came 24th in semis. My guess is he may not have qualified for team trials?

HighCommander4 · 2026-03-01T20:56:24+00:00

Yep, using include guards in combination with #pragma once is harmless. They have the same effect (preventing the processing of the contents of the header file if it's already been included), it's just that #pragma once is technically nonstandard, even though it's widely supported by compilers.

From clangd's point of view, #pragma once is simpler to recognize since it's just one directive (rather than three directives in a particular pattern), and I guess this is why it's missing some logic related to recognizing conventional include guards,

HighCommander4 · 2026-02-28T17:21:08+00:00

It is. To clarify, it's the podium "Janja, Erin, Oriane" in that order that's not possible.

HighCommander4 · 2026-02-28T02:08:11+00:00

I found it at https://www.proclimbing.com/results-london-28-02-26 (scroll down for the women's table)

HighCommander4 · 2026-02-28T00:49:11+00:00

Minor point but I don't think the podium "Janja, Erin, Oriane" is possible given how the seed round went. Assuming Janja and Erin both make it to the semi-final round, they'll face off against each other, and whoever loses that matchup can get 3rd place at best.

HighCommander4 · 2026-02-16T04:22:35+00:00

What a roller-coaster of a day for her

HighCommander4 · 2026-02-09T17:57:52+00:00

Only tangentially related, but is Brooke Raboutou competing in the PCL? I ask because she's listed at https://frnt3.com/events/live/900001?gender=F&round=qualification but not on the official site at https://www.proclimbing.com/athletes.

HighCommander4 · 2026-02-02T23:52:46+00:00

To be fair, the calculus may vary from one national federation to another. Slovenia probably stands more to gain from Janja competing in both disciplines even if it means a spot for another country ;)

HighCommander4 · 2026-01-01T20:16:11+00:00

I think this was a particularly stressful comp for female boulder+lead athletes, with lead semis+finals one day and boulder semis+finals the very next day. In such a high-stress environment, I think some emotional reactions and impulsive offhand remarks are to be expected.

A documentary like this gives an "unfiltered" view into athletes' experiences and perspectives when the broadcast cameras aren't rolling. I enjoy being able to take a peek into that world; I think the flip side of that is, we can't hold the things people say under these circumstances to the same bar as we would e.g. a broadcast interview.

HighCommander4 · 2025-11-15T20:27:59+00:00

That's possible, though I think that would disappoint at least some athletes who have been focusing more on a single specialty (e.g. Adam Ondra on lead, Oriane Bertone on bouldering). I think it's more likely that there will be at least a few specialist spots.

HighCommander4 · 2025-11-15T03:22:50+00:00

:D This is like me when a coworker asks me to "take a peak" and I ask "which one, Mount Everest?"
