In this video I’m competing in the once-a-year bouldering comp at my home gym—Senders Games 2025—and I bring you through the whole day like you’re right there in the crowd with me. I start with my warm up, talk through how I’m trying to manage nerves (because yeah… competing in front of the community you love hits different), and then we get into the actual climbing once the comp begins. I’m not just showing sends—I’m showing the process: how I choose attempts, how I reset when I botch something, and how I try to stay loose when the pressure ramps up. Last year I made finals, so this one has that extra little spice: can I do it again? I walk through check-in, the flow of the event, and then we wrap with results and a debrief where I’m honest about what worked and what didn’t. If you’re training for your first local comp, or you just like comp-day energy and bouldering chaos, this is basically my “here’s how I survive and (hopefully) thrive” play-by-play—plus a preview of what I’m cooking up next.
