Semi-finals for the Bouldering World Cup at the 2010 Teva Mountain Games are complete with the top 6 finishers from each division moving on to finals tonight at 3:45 PM MST.
The live feed started late? just in time to see Paul Robinson fall near the last move of Men’s #3, a fall that ended up costing him a trip to finals as he wound up finishing in a disappointing 9th place. Daniel Woods looked to have things very much in control as he was the only competitor to finish all 4 problems including a very powerful Men’s #4 that he put down in short order.
For the women, Alex Puccio and Alex Johnson snuck into finals qualifying 5th and 6th respectively. The top 6 women all finished the 4 Semi-final problems though so the only thing differentiating them was the number of attempts they took to finish the problems. Time for the routesetters to bring it in finals!
Catch finals live from Vail here at 3:45 PM MST (or watch the routsetters reset the walls right now)

It’s amazing to me how thin a margin for error there is in these comps. One foot slip or botched opportunity is all it takes to keep you from advancing.
