Climb Nashville is proud to be represented at Divisionals and Nationals by two of our finest: Ashley Hamilton and Max Marlowe. Here is a report from Ashley about Divisionals…
HOLY COWWWW – what a CRAZY weekend!
Divisionals was crazier than I thought it would be. I was SUPER nervous, considering this was the last chance to make it to nationals. In fact, I have NEVER been nervous for ANY other comp besides this one…. This is NOT like bouldering. NO, its MUCH, MUCH harder to make it to nationals (in my age division) – and I learned that this weekend.
The qualifiers round came. Talk about the worst climbing day of my LIFE! I was a nervous wreck in isolation and I wasn’t any better when I got out to climb. I was the last person to go, so EVERYONE was watching me.
I was not focused at all. I ended up getting to the first clip and I ended up backclipping it. Then I turned to my belayer at a sketchy stance and asked him if I had to re-clip, which TOTALLY got me out of the zone. Since I was nervous, I got pumped fast. I was hanging from a bad hold to clip the 2nd bolt, and I knew that if I tried to clip then I would deck, so I decided to just fall. One clip. A few moves. And I fell. BUMMER!
The second route wasn’t any easier. I fell trying to clip the 2nd bolt.
…again, the worst climbing day of my life. I tried, but I didn’t perform well.
I waited and waited until the results were posted. I automatically made it to finals. I was in 6th place – and they take the top 6 people for nationals the next day. I knew that if I wanted to make it, I would really have to step up and get PSYCHED!
Once I get determined, there’s nothing that will stop me. I wasn’t going to let stupid routes get in the way of me going to nationals. I was going to go. No doubt.
The big day came. The day that counts. Finals. I was psyched. The qualifier round didn’t matter. This mattered. This day would determine if I would make it. I was going for it.
My finals route was in the cave area. (WOOHOO!) Thank you!!!! Finally!!!! (I’ve been climbing on roofs a lot at Obed, so I knew I was ready!) SO it was finally a route that I felt confident in. It was a cool route. It was finals. I was ready.
Even though deep inside I thought that I wasn’t going to do good, I covered the thoughts with positive things: I used creative visualization to see me finishing the route and making it to nationals. I breathed deep, drank water, and relaxed. Adrian, the coach for Adrenaline, helped me in isolation (like usual) and I felt really confident.
After a few people it was my turn. Long story short, I flowed. I kept reminding myself about nationals when I was on the route, and it kept me moving. I heard everyone cheering me on, and it kept me going. I ended up getting the farthest out of everyone….
I watched the rest of my category and a lot of them made mistakes in the beginning. I felt bad, but I was also in shock. My mind was spinning. All these girls beat me the day before in qualifiers, and somehow I climbed a lot smoother than them at finals…. I didn’t understand – it was over my head.
I had to wait until 5 that night to confirm how I did.
And.
I did good.
I learned that the first day doesn’t count. I really made a lot of changes and learned a lot about competitive sport climbing… I learned that I can totally change my attitude when it comes to finals, and that being relaxed and not nervous really helps. I learned to keep moving no matter what, because every movement counts. I learned to have FUN when I climb, and not to worry.
I placed first. Divisional champ. I went from worrying about if I was even going to make it to nationals to bringing home the gold. I’m pretty darn psyched! I achieved my goal. Next goal: have fun at nationals. I’m already there. I already made it. (it was harder than I thought it would be, but I did it!) WOOOHOOOOOOOOOO! Nationals, here we come!!!!
[Oh, and on a side note, the only other person from Nashville was Max Marlowe. To sum up his weekend, I will say this: about 8 or so people were tied in the qualifier round. The next day at finals 4 of them tied, so they had to have a SUPER-finals. It was intense – the 4 kids that were in it climb at the same level. Max ended up getting 3rd—- and he was .02 points away from getting 2nd!!! (He did awesome!!!) So we both will be attending nationals in Ann Harbor, Michigan, which is July 6, 7, and 8, depending on if we make semi-finals and finals. CLIMB NASHVILLE REPRESENT!!!]
That’s the stuff I like to hear. People from Nashville being great at other things beside country music. Good job guys, Best of luck with any more comps.
