Battle in the Bubble
On the shores of Boulder Reservoir with the Front Range as a backdrop the bouldering competition got underway. It was a cool set up and although the wall was rather short it had some great features on it that made for some technical moves. Although some of the holds were easy to skip as we saw in the first round with most of the men dynoing across the wall to the finish. But with the weather holding the set up was really cool and the style of elimination climbing was really fun to watch especially in the last round with the head to head climbing for 1st place. It seemed that the crowd enjoyed the setup and being able to be up close with the action was very nice, but with the slow moving pace about 1/3 of the crowd disappeared as the final rounds came into play and it got cold out. But overall I think it was a great event and a lot of fun to see Daniel Woods and Alex Puccio take 1st in great last rounds. I have posted a few pictures but am limited here on space so I will hopefully have a High Altitude Adventures Facebook page up soon that will have more extensive photos and details.
Cheers!

Battle in the Bubble: Boulder Colorado pro bouldering invitational
Another weekend, another big bouldering comp on the schedule. Just a couple of weeks after the 2010 Earth Treks Roc Comp and 3 weeks before the World Cup event at the Teva Mountain Games is this weekend’s Battle In The Bubble in Boulder, CO. After a semi-finals round at The Spot that will include 20 “Wild Cards” and a handful of select “Pro-Invitees” the finals will pit the remaining 10 climbers of each gender against each other in an innovative ”elimination/1st ascent” style finals outdoors at the Boulder Reservoir.
Following in the footsteps of recent comps the finals for Battle In The Bubble will be broadcast live online at The Spot’s website beginning at 7:15 MDT Saturday night. The live stream will be produced by Sender Films.
The preliminary running order for semi-finals has been posted here with the Wild Card slots to be filled in after a qualifying round tomorrow at The Spot. Paul Robinson (ankle) and Alex Johnson (World Cup in Switzerland) are notably absent from the running order, so it will be interesting to see if anyone can step up and challenge clear favorites Daniel Woods and Alex Puccio.
