Almost 100 competitors lined up Friday to tackle the qualifying problems, after which 23 men and 23 women advanced to semi-finals on Saturday afternoon. Finals started in the evening on Saturday, with the typical stacked line-up.

Puccio was the only woman to top all four problems, with two flashes on #3 and #4. Angie Payne, Shauna Coxsey, and Lizzy Asher topped three of the four. The men’s routes proved more challenging for the competitors—Daniel Woods and Ethan Pringle each topped just two problems, with everyone else finishing only one problem.

The crowd went wild when Michael Bautista hucked to and held the finishing hold on men’s #4—the only man to top the problem—but in the excitement, Bautista forgot to match hands at the top, disqualifying the finish.

Puccio has won every ABS Nationals comp since 2006 with the exception of 2009, when Alex Johnson won. Woods has won five of the last seven Nationals.
