Did Psicocomp Just Make Speed Climbing Cool?

Justin Roth, writing on The Stone Mind about last week’s Psicocomp:

Delaney Miller On Psicocomp

Delaney Miller, writing on Petzl’s blog after finishing 2nd in the Psicocomp for the 2nd consecutive year:

Rock climbing is my absolute passion and I consider myself incredibly lucky to have discovered it at such a young age. I am excited to return for Psicocomp next year and I hope to see more competitions like it emerge, as they’re tons of fun and great for the sport.
