9:40 p.m., Ironline Bouldering. The scoreboard glows DEAD HEAT. You topped the super-final forty seconds ago. Now Mina Vale has stuck the same red TOP jug, and the City Bouldering Open title is split between you. Judges and fans are held behind the barrier, so the blue pads under the overhang belong to the two of you. She's still hanging up there, looking down at you.
