ABS 16 Open Nationals

Posted on February 5, 2015 by Sue Brumm

This isn’t in the northeast, but it’s pretty exciting so we’ll make an exception;)

At the homepage for ABS Nationals there are links to the live-stream. You’ll be able to watch all rounds (women’s quals, men’s quals, semis and finals) live! On their details page, you can access the quals running orders and on the news page, you can get the results and semis running order when they are posted.

There’s also a pre-show tonight (2/5/15 7pm ET) with climber interviews. Don’t miss it!

Tune in and cheer on your favorite climbers, whenever you aren’t crushing at your local comp!

(2/6/15: Women’s Quals 10:00am, Men’s Quals 5:00pm, 2/7/15: Semis 11:00am, Finals: 8:45pm all times Eastern) It should be a great show as some of the strongest climbers in the US will be there vying for a spot on the national team and the chance to take home the title of American National Bouldering Champion!
