🍿 In this exciting 5th episode of Board Lords, Tension Climbing welcomes two US Olympians -- Nathanial Coleman and Colin Duffy.
Nathanial is an 🥈 Olympic Silver Medalist and four-time US National Champion 🏆 fresh from his historic V17 First Ascent of "No One Mourns the Wicked (Defying Gravity Sit)". Colin is a ✌️two-time Olympic Finalist and three-time 🥇 World Champion and has recently been on a sending spree, putting down some of CO's most elusive V15s in a single session.
Today, we give the Board Lords two stout boulders on the Tension Board 2 -- both at 55°.
The first Boulder is called "Punching Down" -- built off the early TB2 Classic "Make It Forever", "Punching Down" is a no-match boulder on the Mirror Layout that requires unbelievable tension, compression, and coordination and sits in the V13/14 range.

The second boulder lives on The Spray Layout and is called "With Teeth". "With Teeth" features raw power, crimpy resistance, and leads to one of the single hardest power moves we've seen in a Board Lords episode yet. This boulder likely clocks in anywhere from V13 to V15.
