Man, what a great final. Not sure how I feel about the new style of holds on M4.
spoiler
And what an amazing moment when Mickael took the winIt was interesting to see some of the competitors chalking up and some using water for the last holds.
I might be misremembering but I don’t think the chalk-front got very far on it.
My own experience is that water helps best with smooth surfaces. Used that trick on an indoor boulder not too long ago.
