ABS Nationals Wrap

We’re still in Alexandria working with the crew at USA Climbing to put the finishing touches on ABS Nationals. It’s been great to partner with USAC in a production role. FAR less work than our usual events and we basically get to focus only on creating pretty pictures which, I think we can all agree, is the best part of climbing media. If we’re going to capitalize on the opportunities that are currently available in climbing and get into the Olympics, while growing the sport in a positive way, we have to communicate what comp climbing is and the excitement of it. Since we started running comps in 2005, that’s what we’ve been after and it was a pleasure to be able to do our part to make the 2010 ABS National Championships the best one we’ve seen yet. Congratulations to Alex, Daniel and of course, in the “Honorable mention cause you have to root for the old man” Category, Matt fucking Bosley in second place. Bumps brother. Comp results here.
Look for more photos and video coming soon from USAC (including all the really good stuff. I think we got a shot that is better than anything we’ve ever gotten before… We’ll see what it looks like in the editing room).
