We were devastated to hear the news reported by Rock and Ice that Nevada-based Brad Gobright has died during a rappelling accident in Potrero Chico, Mexico.

It looks like everybody who has suppose to have a spot in the competition does have a spot! It is unclear at this point whether the Japanese team is actually competing for single spots in their male and female roster for the Olympics or whether those have already been chosen and their performance will not count as for the top six qualifying athletes in each gender.
We are very psyched to announce that Annie Chouinard has made an ascent of Pure Imagination (5.14c) at the RRG. This is the second time 5.14c has been climbed by a Canadian Female and may be one of the hardest ascents by a Canadian Female (depending on where the route falls in comparison to ASDATO climbed by
