The Vail Bouldering World Cup at the 2011 Teva Mountain Games has come and gone.  For the first time in the 4 years the TMG has hosted this World Cup no Americans stood atop the podium at the end of the comp with Alex Puccio (2nd) and Angie Payne (6th) being the only Americans to even make it to finals.  Last year’s winner for the men, Daniel Woods, finished in 11th place with Julian Bautista having the best showing for the American men finishing in 9th.

The comp was won in impressive fashion by a resurgent Kilian Fischhuber who flashed all 4 problems in finals after not even making finals the past two world cups while fellow Austrian Anna Stöhr finished all 4 problems on her way to victory.  Here are the rest of the results:

Not sure what scores like 0t 4b9 mean?  Check out this post where I tried my best to explain the World Cup scoring system.

Here are a few stories and media that have cropped up since things wrapped up on Saturday.  I’ll continue to add to the list as events warrant:

• Women’s Finals Highlights
• Qualifying round wrap up from Petzl
• A breakdown of how each climber fared on the first 2 Finals problems
• A breakdown of how each climber fared on the last 2 Finals problems
• Climbing.com’s report from Finals
• Peter Beal reflects on the comp results and what it means for American climbers
• Final wrap up from Petzl
• Dave Wetmore’s experience at the comp

I was able to watch the livestream of the women’s qualifying round and the beginning of a very laggy men’s qualifying round, but I was unable to watch any of the action on Saturday.  If you tuned in to either the IFSC.tv feed or the Rock & Ice feed to watch semi-finals and finals I’d love to hear your feedback in the comments on how things went.

The Bouldering World Cup circuit takes a break for a couple of weeks now before reconvening in Eindhoven, Netherlands the weekend of June 17th.

So, I don’t know if you heard or not but there was a bouldering competition in Vail this weekend that was kind of a big deal.  In case you missed it, here are the posts I had over the weekend about the Bouldering World Cup at the 2010 Teva Mountain Games:

• 2010 Teva Mountain Games: Vail Bouldering World Cup Final Results/My Thoughts on the Comp
• 2010 Teva Mountain Games: Vail Bouldering World Cup Semi-final Results
• 2010 Teva Mountain Games: Vail Bouldering World Cup Men’s Qualifier Results
• 2010 Teva Mountain Games: Vail Bouldering World Cup Women’s Qualifier Results

Jon Glassberg put together a nice set of highlight videos from Finals that show pretty much every meaningful attempt on all the problems.  Check ‘em out:

Here are some other medias floating around the interwebs:

• Very professional looking (but not as complete as the ones shown above) highlight reels of the Men and the Women from DPM
• Ben Fullteron has some images up from the Qualifying rounds with more photos from Semi-finals and Finals to come
• Article about the comp in the Vail Daily News
• Finals post at DPM with several nice pictures from Jackie Hueftle
• Brief Daniel Woods interview with 8a.nu
• Pictures of the top falls of the weekend
• More great photos from Ben Fullerton
• Petzl write-up with some really nice pictures

Feel free to share others sites with media that you come across in the comments and I’ll add them to the post.

Some live feed is better than no live feed.

That seemed to be the consensus among the 700 7000-odd climbing fans that were watching online as Daniel Woods and Chloé Graftiaux won the Bouldering World Cup at the 2010 Teva Mountain Games in Vail, CO.

Woods ended the drought for American men in Bouldering World Cups in decisive fashion as his 2 topouts meant he was the only male competitor to finish more than 1 problem. As is his habit of late, Woods came out and closed the show in exciting fashion by getting highpoint on Men’s #4 even though his victory had already been sealed. Well done.

Graftiaux narrowly defeated Anna Stohr in a very hotly contested women’s field that the routesetters seemed to have trouble separating all day. Over the course of Finals and Semi-finals, the top 5 finishers all completed the same number of problems and reached the same number of bonuses with only their number of attempts separating them.

Here are the final results with each competitor’s place coming into Finals in () next to their name:

It will be interesting to read reaction from climbers and setters on how they felt the problems went in Finals. As an observer with an admittedly poor vantage point the Men’s problems seemed to revolve mostly around a dyno of some sort which gradually lost its excitement as all the men struggled over and over again to make the huge leap at the end of Men’s #3 and almost all the men struggled mightily to hold the swing on a long jump at the beginning of Men’s #4.

Daniel Woods going for the long move on Men’s #4

For the Women the first 2 problems went down pretty easy, and an unintended sequence on Women’s #2 that allowed a couple of the women to stem their way to the finish hold left at least some of us online spectators scratching our heads about the rules constituting control of a finish hold (apparently just touching the hold is enough?). Women’s #4 did help the comp end on an exciting note though as a send by any of the Women would have given them the victory and a couple of the women came off on the very last move.

Clip from the end of the Live Stream

As I alluded to the event was streamed live on UStream by the folks at Rock & Ice with Executive Editor Alison Osius doing commentary along the way. Overall her commentary was helpful and well prepared with the only real negative in my mind being the occasional cheer into the microphone. The feed itself was somewhat mediocre given that it was from a fixed angle off to one side of the venue which prevented the audience from seeing at least one of the Women’s problems entirely. The single angle also made it difficult to follow the action when the Men’s and Women’s problems were not right next to each other on the wall which was the case for at least half the night.

Compared to the multi-camera setup used at the recent Battle in the Bubble and the comps put on by the ne2c guys, the Teva Mountain Games World Cup live feed wasn’t nearly as advanced. Some feed is certainly better than no feed, but the aforementioned groups really raised the bar as far as live feeds are concerned in my opinion. It seems time for the World Cup at the Teva Mountain Games, to me the premier climbing comp in the U.S., to join them.

Semi-finals for the Bouldering World Cup at the 2010 Teva Mountain Games are complete with the top 6 finishers from each division moving on to finals tonight at 3:45 PM MST.

The live feed started late? just in time to see Paul Robinson fall near the last move of Men’s #3, a fall that ended up costing him a trip to finals as he wound up finishing in a disappointing 9th place.  Daniel Woods looked to have things very much in control as he was the only competitor to finish all 4 problems including a very powerful Men’s #4 that he put down in short order.

For the women, Alex Puccio and Alex Johnson snuck into finals qualifying 5th and 6th respectively.  The top 6 women all finished the 4 Semi-final problems though so the only thing differentiating them was the number of attempts they took to finish the problems.  Time for the routesetters to bring it in finals!

Catch finals live from Vail here at 3:45 PM MST (or watch the routsetters reset the walls right now)
