National federation results.
National cups and championships, crawled from the federations' own results systems. Shown but not ranked: a domestic championship can run several age groups over more than one route length on the same day, so these runs do not set a personal best. Place is given where the source states one.

Something wrong or missing?
Samuel's profile is built from official World Climbing results, so a fact that never reached them never reaches us: a coach, a home gym, a hometown, an Instagram, a result we have wrong. Tell us in your own words and we'll check it before anything changes.
