Boulder Premiere of 180° South: Conquerors of the Useless
On Thursday, July 15, 180° South: Conquerors of the Useless, will show at the Boulder Theater.

His hope is simply to find unclimbed mountains and unridden waves in the spirit of his heroes. -sm.jpg) 24 Hours of Gunnison Glory Wrap-Up
“Do you know what it’s like to climb 24 hours straight, pitch after pitch on demanding, technical granite till your tips pink out, feet swell, and mouth dries up like the ass end of the Swahili? Well, let me tell you . . . er, actually, I only made it to hour 22.5 at the launch of the friendly new competition: the 24 Hours of Gunnison Glory, held at Hartman Rocks, west of Gunnison, Colorado. But even turning in our scorecards 1.5 hours shy of the finishing line, we came to know the experience. And the thing is, it’s a tough but extremely rewarding one.” This sentiment offered in 2009 by Matt Samet (former editor of Climbing Magazine) was and will always be an amazing summary of the 24 hours of Gunnison Glory, an Endurance Climbing Festival designed with everyone in mind.  Vibram Natural Games 2010
Vibram Natural Games will be back from the 24th of June to the 27th of June 2010 in Millau, the European outdoor sports capital.

This year, novelties appear: For the cliff, Ultimate routes could be tried by all the competitors and not only by professional climbers.  Wrangle in the Triangle Bouldering Competition

This year’s Wrangle will be a bouldering redpoint format with routes from V0 to V-Crazy. Climbers can register under youth, beginner, intermediate, and advanced categories. Come on out for the Triangle’s greatest indoor climbing competition. Délire centre d’escalade in Québec City hosted the C.E.C. Youth Nationals this year on the weekend of June 4, 5, and 6. This year 123 young athletes took part – most of them travelling from Western Canada. The routesetters did an amazing job of separating the pack, and no Super Finals were needed. Thank you to everyone who was part of the routesetting crew. True North’s own Dustin Curtis flew to Québec to set routes, then dashed off to Vail, Colorado, to represent Canada in the IFSC World Cup Bouldering Competition at the Teva Mountain Games.

If the first day of the Rock Junior was a marathon, the second couldn't have been more action packed, with climbing of course. Beneath the beautiful Garda Trentino sun and the legendary Lake Garda breeze, the Arco Climbing Stadium witnessed another day to be remembered. It all kicked off extremely early, and the first to arrive, as if they were in need of a good dose of climbing, were the teams of the Under 14 Cup.  Teva Mountain Games 2010 Climbing Events

Gunks Climbers Coalition to Host Waterworks Fundraiser
For nearly six years, the Mohonk Preserve and the Gunks Climbers Coalition have worked in conjunction with OSI and the Town of Rosendale to secure the purchase, transfer, and access to one of the Gunks most revered areas, the Waterworks Boulders. It finally seems that access is truly going to come to fruition soon enough, but your help is still needed. While the land purchase has been arranged, the management costs have not. And this is where the good of the people comes in.  Battle in the Bubble Pro Invitational
