More Sneak Peeks and a Brief Construction Update

Hokay, so we finished the DRCC semi-finals today and the citizen’s crew is hard at work RIGHT THIS MINUTE setting the redpoint comp for you all. That might not sound dramatic right this minute, since it’s only 9:39 pm, but if you read this at 2 am they’re probably still there. Thanks citizen’s/qualifiers setters!!!  Here are a few more sneak peeks at our semis:

Oh man, those mini feature jibs are amazing!!!

We messed up a little and didn’t request enough holds to make an all DRCC semis like we had planned, so we had to supplement a bit from our stock.  Be prepared for awesomeness.

Complimentary pinches...

Sweet sloper goodness...

Super Shells!

Come to the Spot on Saturday, May 15th, to see these holds, and many more, challenge some of the best climbers in America (and a couple of the best boulderers in the world).  More holds – Detroit Rock Climbing Company

Oh yeah, and here are a couple of construction pics.

For schedule, etc, check the Battle in The Bubble links on the sidebar.  See you all on Friday for the citizen’s comp and pro qualifiers!

Asana Pad Stuffers and an Informative Video

Whelp, today we finished up the semifinals and took ’em down so the citizen’s crew could set qualifiers and the redpoint competition.  The Asana guys worked hard all day (with some very helpful volunteers) to stuff the huge comp pads that will be protecting the climbers at the comp.

Asana goodness

The pads may look funny, with all that different sized foam in them, but these are the same style of pad as the ones that saved the Russian climber who fell upside down from the top of the wall at the Teva games last year.  They’re seriously cushy.

And the wall.  The wall is totally built by now, but here are a couple of pics of the process in case you haven’t seen ’em:

Sick!!!

Also, Adam put together a little video that lays out the schedule for the weekend in case you’re confused about anything.
