Vertigo Designs Lead and Bouldering walls for World Cup Qinghai - China

Vertigo-klimwanden, one of Europe's leading constructors in Climbing Walls, is also doing business in China. In 2004 Vertigo they joined business with Geckoking and for the World Cup Climbing in Qinghai, held at the 30st of june until the 5th of july, they designed the whole complex.

The bouldering area looks a great deal the same as the construction they used in Vienna (Austria): outdoors with a roof on top (see previous post). But what the heck, Bouldering is best with a light breeze and some sun so presumably this is going to be (is??) standard for bouldering competition. OK, the one (see picture under) in the Netherlands excluded....

World Cup Bouldering Vienna - Austria

Aleksandra Balakireva and Rustam Gelmanov from Russia won the World Cup competition in bouldering in Vienna, Austria last weekend. A wonderful outdoor setting of the boulderwalls made it an event a bit different from the coming World Cup Bouldering in Eindhoven (Netherlands), which is held indoors. Check all the clips from the finals and watch the awesome boulders and their climbers. Not to forget the new world record dyno from Nicky de Leeuw (Netherlands) and Peter Würth (Germany)!!
