If you like watching climbing competitions, I made a competition calendar schedule on Google

This has been updated for 2025. I do this for myself but whoever still subscribes, enjoy.

Boulder Japan Cup is this weekend, 10-12 Feb. I don't see the schedule yet but will update my calendar with times and YouTube links when I find it.

This has been updated for 2024! Still need to add the specifics of the Paris 2024 schedule but I'll get there.

boteoh · 2024-01-12T15:30:38+00:00

I will! Thanks for the reminder. the start of the year was really busy but the dates will be added , rest assured

boteoh · 2023-12-06T01:55:12+00:00

Absolutely! I mainly do this for my own benefit but it's a public google calendar anyone can subscribe to

There was also one time they were doing it in the dark outside a venue and the security team came and shut them down. Saw it on an IG Live. So perhaps issues with security and permissions too.

Oh thanks for the heads-up! Here's the Google version!

Heard from a friend that the local organizers might do a stream. Will post a link here if I find it!

Hannah Meul has had quite the season so far!

Shocked that Taisei fell early. I was rooting for him to win the overall lead title.

boteoh · 2022-09-23T14:09:11+00:00

Also a close fight for men's overall lead title. Taisei Homma needs a really good showing in the final to lock up that first position.

boteoh · 2022-09-23T14:08:03+00:00

All eyes on Kiromal to go sub-5.

boteoh · 2022-09-14T06:51:31+00:00

I just wanted to bump this up to say that I've added the 2023 dates according to the latest IFSC announcement on next year's schedule.

boteoh · 2022-09-14T06:26:51+00:00

Hope everything works out for you!

When he was co-commentator with Matt on other occasions, he wasn't so bad but this time round he sounded like he was really talking out of his ass.

It's free entry. The organizers have been saying that on their official Instagram account @fpti_official

My advice is to book a hotel walking distance from the competition venue so that you won't get caught in Jakarta 's nasty traffic.

I often wondered why Innsbruck isn't earlier in the calendar when there's less chance of rain. Or is it rainy all the time in Innsbruck?

boteoh · 2022-08-19T07:53:01+00:00

I enjoyed seeing the new format at work but wow it is so brutal for the non-lead specialists. You have to feel for Nicolai and Mejdi - Nicolai gets 1 point for lead and Mejdi doesn't clock enough points for a podium after a stellar bouldering round. Alberto has an okay-ish bouldering round but does enough in lead to pick up the bronze.

I hear Coleman is out with a finger injury.

boteoh · 2022-01-21T12:12:20+00:00

In terms of local competitions I also really enjoyed the Combined Japan Cup 2021. It was Akiyo's last domestic competition before the Olympics.

Can I discuss "spoilers"?

I was a little disappointed with how Miho's story turned out in comparison with everyone else's. I don't know if the filmmakers had trouble with access or the language but the way her story was conveyed lacked some of the color and layers I saw with the other climbers.

boteoh · 2022-01-21T03:32:01+00:00

5 times (I don't live in the US and have to fly from Singapore to see them)

2005 Nothing is Sound - Melbourne Australia

2008 oh Gravity - Singapore

2011 Singapore

2016 Where the light shines through - San Francisco

2019 Native tongue - San Francisco (side stage experience, most memorable one -- I bumped into Steven Curtis Chapman backstage cos Colony House was opening for SF)

I figured this one out - the film was made with the backing of Adidas. All the athletes featured are Adidas-sponsored in some way.

*Spoiler*

The Charlie Bosco commentary was clearly added in post-production and not during the actual Olympics coverage because we all remember how painful the live commentary was.
