Chris Sharma easily won the men’s elite competition at the Mammut Sendfest in Salt Lake City, while Tomoko Ogawa of Japan won a closely fought battle among the women. Ogawa, silver medalist at the 2005 Asian X-Games, held off most of America’s best female boulderers for her victory, including Emily Harrington, Natasha Barnes and Lizzy Asher. Patrick Cassiday won the Sportiva Dyno Contest. 

The Sendfest, held at The Front Climbing Club held in conjunction with the summer Outdoor Retailer trade show, offered a total purse of more than $6,000.
