High Altitude Adventures

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 1^st 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 1^st 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!
