"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

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.
