USA Climbing, the United States National Governing Body for the sport of competition climbing announced today that it will webcast in partnership with Louder Than Eleven, both Open and Youth Bouldering National Championships starting next week in Madison, WI.
The Open National Championship will take place on February 6 and 7, 2015 and the Youth National Championship will take place a week later on February 13, 14, and 15, 2015.
“I am obviously excited about another standard – setting Open Nationals broadcast from our friends at Louder than Eleven.” said Kynan Waggoner, CEO of USA Climbing. “Broadcasting our Bouldering Youth National Championship is the next natural step for USA Climbing. Luckily, we have a very strong relationship with Louder Than Eleven and their scope of work with USA Climbing over the last few years has proven that they are capable of giving us the type of broadcast we need for our Youth competitors. Under the broadcast management of LT11, the viewer will see every single attempt of every single climber competing at the ABS Youth National Championship.”
Jordan Shipman, Director at Louder than Eleven agrees and added, “Louder Than Eleven’s relationship with USA Climbing over the last several years has yielded the freedom to continuously innovate using cutting edge technology to tell better stories and produce high quality, comprehensive coverage of the ABS National Championships”
There is nothing like being in the stadium watching the action live. But for those than can not make it to Madison you’ll be able to select, from your couch, up to 8 different camera angles to watch the live feed at any given point in time during all rounds of the competition.
“This year we couldn’t be more excited about broadcasting the Youth National Championships for the first time ever!” Shipman said. “We look forward to this years events as well as continuing to work with USA Climbing to raise the bar and set new standards in competition climbing live streaming.”
