We really just wanted to use this shot of Alex “Socks” Johnson on his way to becoming the ABS 12 National Champ.

A couple weeks ago we watched Alex snag a first place finish at a local sport comp right down the road from the UBC Pro Tour offices. Check out his blog for the recap and video highlights.

Enjoy.

UBC Pro Tour Director Pete Ward will make the cross-country trip to Movement Climbing +Fitness in Boulder, CO to provide on camera commentary and analysis as Louder Than 11 captures all the action. Keep an eye out for the highlight videos next week!

57 athletes are currently signed up for SCS Nationals and the early favorites are two-time reigning women’s champ Sasha DiGiulian and men’s 2010 2nd place finisher Daniel Woods. Sasha has raised the bar for women’s sport climbing and it will be interesting to see who, if anyone, steps up to challenge her. On the men’s side, Daniel crushed ABS Nationals in February and three weeks later put up a 5.14c/d FA in Colorado’s Clear Creek Canyon. While Woods is no doubt climbing strong he’ll definitely face stiff competition from Carlo Traversi and Matty Hong. Of course there are pleny of darkhorse candidates to watch out for too, including Angie Payne (sport climbing?!), Chelsea Rude, Francesca Metcalf, Alex Socks Johnson and Vasya Vorotnikov to name just a few. SCS Nationals is going to be sick!

Check out last year’s competition highlights and get PSYCHED for this weekend!

Emily Harrington on her way to a top 10 finish at the Mammut Bouldering Championships in Boston, MA. Side note- did you know Emily is headed to the roof of the world? That’s right, she’s part of the upcoming Everest expedition sponsored by The North Face and National Geographic. Wish her and the entire expedition safe travels!
