World Cup in Vail

Just arrived in Vail and went up to take a look at the competition wall. The Pyramide wall looks fantastic and the Asana pads look spectacular as well. The folks at USA Climbing, unfortunately, are having to set routes in the rain. It has been pouring most of the day, but they have the entire wall tarped off.
Tomorrow the qualifiers for the World Cup begin. There should be tons of excitement in the air as competitors come from all over the world to compete. This is the first time the United States has hosted this international climbing event, so we are thrilled to have the opportunity to have done the flooring for the wall.

That's great that they're using your pads! Wish I could be there :(

Jealous. Wish I could be there too. I think Snowbird in 89 was an international comp. It was billed as the World Sport Climbing Championships or something like that. Vail is definitely the first international bouldering comp on US soil though. Psyched you are down there and that they are using your pads.
