I couldn't agree more with one exception.. for those who aren't getting any younger i.e. those in their mid to late 30s make it clear what they are competing for. It's soooo rare to have an opportunity to climb at itcc and any confusion or misrepresentation of it is unacceptable. Congrats Jimmy...
Long story... everyone including the top climbers and head judge Taylor hamel assumed it to be the case. With itcc being moved around there ended up being too many comps for itcc representation. Rather than making that clear even the least bit clear... they made that announcement after the comp.
