Tyler Landman took an impressive 6th place for Great Britain in the IFSC Climbing World Cup (bouldering) in Vail, Colorado at the weekend.

Big names Sharma (USA) and Lama (AUT) proved no match for 17 year old Landman, although the top 3 places in both the men's and women's bouldering final were dominated by climbers from the USA and Austria. Kilian Fischhuber (Austria) took first place in the men's competition and Alex Johnson (USA) took the top spot in the women's. The USA took the team prize on home turf.

Tyler said: "The Vail bouldering competition was a success in the end for me, although I certainly did not expect it to be this way before I entered. Having never competed in a World Cup bouldering event, I was reluctant at first and felt uncontrollably nervous. However, when put on the spot and in the moment, I found I could handle it calmly enough to stay composed."

Good effort. I'm sure if he gets really psyched for comps then he will do even better in the future. Provided Ondra doesn't decide to enter them..... ;-)

Well done Tyler, I didn't even know he was on the team! Could someone post the womens results up? All the sites showing them are blocked at work. :(

He isn't but it was happening not far from where he was living.

I didn't realise he'd never competed at this level before. Even more impressive.

another problem with this forum is people having a go at others for no reason. I reckon he made the assumption from the article where he says that he'd never competed at a world cup event before.
