Great profile of Lightner: his climbing and his life beyond it.

We picked the brains of a whole bunch of the weekend's competitors. We asked them about the routes and venue, as well as had a bit of fun with them by challenging them with some trivia about classic outdoor climbs.

The story of the weekend was Claire Burhfeind, who became the first American athlete ever to win gold in both sport and speed at Nationals.

Ge psyched to watch the top boulderers around duke it out for the title of National Champion.

Kai Lightner has climbed his second 5.14c by sending Lucifer in the Red River Gorge of Kentucky two days ago.
