Headline RSS FeedSun shines on climbing wall construction for Teva Mountain Games
May 28, 2009 —
The build out of the climbing wall at the Teva Mountain Games continues. The weather has improved and crews have begun to unload the wall and construct it at Mountain Plaza, near the Vista Bahn at the foot of Vail Mountain.
Check out the photos of the wall for a quick glimpse of how the wall for the IFSC World Cup of Bouldering presented by Pyramide comes to life.
Not only does this wall host the IFSC World Cup of Bouldering presented by Pyramide, but, it also hosts all Youth and Citizen Bouldering events at the Teva Mountain Games.
A quick reminder to all climbers planing to compete at the TevaMountain Games (excluding World Cup athletes) -- if you have not registered yet, do it now.
Climbing will reach capacity.
Register for all events at the Teva Mountain Games, June 4-7 HERE.

Training under way - and under water - for 2009 Teva Mountain Games
May 27, 2009 —
While the weather here the past few days has been bad for things like climbing and biking, the rain and moisture is great for rivers and we've been out training for the 2009 Teva Mountain Games.
We strapped the POV 1.5 on for what we thought would be a quick training run down Gore Creek for the Bud Light Lime Down River Sprint presented by Jackson Kayak. As luck would have it, we experienced a little "wet exit" action, which, would cripple any ones time for this particular event. Oh well... this is why we train.
The Bud Light Lime Down River Sprint is often the crux event for many competitors in the GNC Ultimate Mountain Challenge. The "UMC" is comprised of three biking/ running events and the Down River Sprint. Many novice and intermediate boaters find their UMC challenges on Gore Creek.
With careful navigating yes, all of the rapids on Gore Creek are straightforward. However, a momentary lapse in concentration, or missing a line can quickly turn into a swim. Swimming is great for a triathlon... not so great for the GNC Ultimate Mountain Challenge. One swim can kill your time for the Ultimate Mountain Challenge and keep you off the podium.
Check out the footage below for current conditions on Gore Creek. The footage was shot last Friday, May 22nd. We've also posted a little guide to running Gore Creek for the Down River Sprint for novice and intermediate boaters. Take it or leave it!
Music by Aceyalone & The Lonely Ones, "Can't Hold Back." They will be performing for FREE on Saturday, June 6 at the Teva Mountain Games in Vail.
