Vegas Climbing Comp...in Florida

Backcountry.com was stoked to sponsor the Vegas Knights climbing comp at the University of Central Florida this past month. The University awarded points for climbing through a vegas card theme.

• Andrew Kezer
• Mike Rivers
• Jesse Kelly

So our man Andrew got 4 of a kind with 6 kings high. This may not be the wave of the future for climbing ratings but I thought it was a cool twist for a climbing comp.

I think one thing they should do for next year is have everyone wear those green visors with those disturbing glasses that don't show your eyes. Ok ok ok...definitely not the climbing etiquette.

Desert Dogs Comp - CO

With the first skiff of snow I am going to hang up the cams for the winter and start heading to the gym for my climbing fix. Those of you who will be in the Grand Junction area on Saturday October 20th can show off mad skills at the Desert Dogs Competition. Desert Dogs 2007 Bouldering Competition is presented by Core Elements Rock Gym in Grand Junction, Colorado.

The comp will have a men's and women's division. Backcountry.com is giving some sweet gear for the winners and every competitor will get hooked up with a goody bag. Stay for the after party with live music and free food.

Pre-register online for $25 or at the door for $30. Only 27 days to get in shape, giddy up!
