Diary of a Pro Climber: My first World Cup

Go behind the scenes at the IFSC Bouldering World Cup, Salt Lake City, in the latest video on our youtube channel.
Young pro Alex's dreams of climbing at world level were becoming a nightmare as he dropped the first two boulders back to back.
Could Alex rediscover the FUN of climbing, beat the pressure of the occasion, and save his debut tournament?

It's impossible not to love this guy.

My man's got endless positivity, a climbing role model for sure

[@borbilla6254]

..and crazy technique! I mean he seems to always be capable to give himself enough time to find the most suitable way of making a move he thinks the right solution at the moment, and even when he fails as he gets back onto the wall he can do exactly the same tons of efficient micromovements he has came up with earlier.. Many times I see climbers don't even remember which of their limbs they were using before for a move, no wonder though, concerning the time limit.. but this memory is crazy:) Looking forward to the upcomings!

I feel like half of his success comes from his mental state. You see a lot of really strong climber getting in their head when it's not going their way, then there is nothing they can do to go back. Good work Alex! Can't wait to see what you are going to achieve next!!!!

One of the most fun climbers to watch, always giving it everything he got and enjoying every moment of it. Keep grinding mate, looking forward to seeing you in a World Cup final on my screens!

Seems like a genuinely nice chap. That's as important as being good sometimes. Sometimes. Makes you want to cheer him on. Its nice to hear the honest mental battle of a struggling start and a solid recovery.

Great to see you climbing, amazing flexibility and impressive foot hooks. Keep the fun and keep sharing your emotions with the crowd. Your first final is not that far away.
