"Pyramide Dyno Comp" (5th Annual):

8 Invited Men, 4 Invited Women, 8 Top Men from Qualifier, and 4 Top Women from Qualifier will attempt a variety of dynamic lunges in a one (1) Round Event. Each successful lunge earns a point value; the harder the lunge the higher the point value. An event that is fun to watch especially considering that the competitors are very tired after competing in the BoulderBlast. You will be amazed at just how far some of the climbers will lunge, how they "stick" the target hold, and how they land on the crash pads.

Please remember that this event is open only to 2004 Phoenix BoulderBlast "pregistered competitors" who "actively" particpate in the climbing competition. There is no additional charge to particpate.
Any and all 2004 Phoenix BoulderBlast "pregistered competitors" (who are not invited) may sign up for the Qualifying Round, 9:00am Sharp Start, Friday, April 23, 2004. The top 8 Men and top 4 Women from the Qualifying Round will join the invited athletes for the regular competition Saturday night.

Prizes will be awarded to the winners.

Climbing Magazine's Bouldering Photo Clinic

Climbing Magazine's Photo Editor, Zach Reynolds, and Editor, Jeff Achey will host a clinic on bouldering photography. The clinic is open to 15 participants and will focus on the basics of camera operation, light, exposure, and other important topics of photography, as well as the important aspects of shooting bouldering -- angle, action, composition, timing, and more.

Bring a camera for hands on instruction as the class heads into the field. The clinic concludes with a visual tour of bouldering photography in a classroom-style setting.

The Access Fund present the "Boulder Project" featuring Katie Brown

"Next season," we tell ourselves as we sip our last cup of joe at the Kava Coffeehouse before heading down Highway 395 out of Bishop. But, what if "next season" our boulder project is inaccessible, not open, closed due to impacts? The Boulder Project, a national initiative driven by the climbing industry, land managers, local activists and climbers, is working to ensure bouldering projects remain open and accessible not only until we've sent our projects, but for future boulderers, as well. Ultimately the Boulder Project is a way of life, a way of thinking, making choices, building relationships, and taking action that stretches well beyond bouldering. Come celebrate the kick-off of this exciting project with your favorite boulderers, a slide show, and some thumping tunes.

I am.

Ill definatly be there, i went for the first time last year and had a blast.
Im flying in from the east coast and renting a car, so if anyone wants a lift from PHX, i got a bunch of room in the rented neon!

What, Where, Who, How?

Justa heads up to all the folks headed to the boulder blast - three of our gear packs were stolen by a guy in a beat up old white pickup (older ford chevy, square body) with a diamond plate metal tool box and maybe a water tank in the bed. He is cruising the campground - so if ya see him, report him or do not buy anything! he might also be an ebay user under sukhdev. he has a 3-4 yr old daughter and a med sized white dog.

thanks
steve

ps, thanks to all of you out there that drove us to town and helped out!!! Beers on us, (if we get our wallets back!)

*considers the damage Hillary could cause* :shock: :shock:

Hey Erica,

I think Jim is roping off the valley behind the campground for only vendors and their cars.

2004 Pbb - Important Notices / Reminders
04-06-2004

Please observe the following suggestions, restrictions, and guidelines:

~The 2004 PBB will not serve the traditional "Mexican" buffet this year because of the lack of sponsorship dollars. Bring lots of money for on-site caterers and for vendors! The PCC regrets this, but it cannot be helped.

~NO dogs and/or pets will be allowed in the campground, vending area, or competition site. If you bring a pet, you must keep them at your campsite and on leash.

~Make sure that you bring plenty of water (the only water at PBB will be water that vendors are selling) and bring camping materials and clothes for warm and cold temps. Oak Flat is notorious for drastic temperatures changes from day to night.

~Bring picture ID that clearly states your age. You need this for On-Site Check-In and for "drinking" alcoholic beverages. If you look young, you WILL BE "carded" when drinking or attempting to get beer from New Belgium or alcohol from the VooDoo Lounge.

~If you bring alcoholic beverages with you, please make sure they are in plastic or can containers. Do NOT bring glass containers!

The PCC highly recommends that you camp Saturday night as AZ DPS will have a sobriety check-point set up and/or many DPS officers in the vicinity specifically looking for drunk drivers leaving the 2004 PBB. If you must drive Saturday night, please consider NOT drinking or having a "designated" driver.

~The Spectator Fee will be $10.00 for the 2004 PBB.
