Diego Gonzalez

Diego Gonzalez is an Industiral Engineer and Profressional Rock Climber from Mexico, where he was chosen to compete in the USA VS. the World Competition in 2017.

Diego made his debut in the USA VS. the world competition in 2017 as Latin America made it's first appearance that year. Diego went up against Sean McColl (Europe) and Brian Arnold (USA) in Heat 1 on Stage 2. While Sean finished the course and Brian fell on the Double Wedge, Diego failed the third obstacle, the Wave Runner.

Diego then went up against Sean McColl again and the USA team captain Drew Drechsel in the third and final heat on Stage 3. While Sean failed the Curved Body Prop due to fatigue, Diego took a slower and steadier approach on the course and cleared the first five obstacles (Keylock Hang, Floating Boards, Ultimate Cliffhanger, Curved Body Prop, and Hang Climb). in 6:11.26. he winded up falling on the Walking Bar and lost the heat to Drew Drechsel who finished the course altogether.
