Also just like last year, the event was amazing and we were witness to some awesome displays of climbing skill.

I took a bunch a pictures during the finals from my “backstage” vantage point as I stood by in case my medical services were needed (they weren’t during the finals). Here are my top 10 pictures in no particular order. I did not get all of the climbers or all of the problems due to my limited view and the low lighting but I still feel there are a couple cool shots in the mix. Just click on the pictures to enlarge for better viewing.

The pictures are reduced in size to keep the page loading quickly but if you would like a full sized file just let me know. I can email it to you at no charge.

After being stranded by weather for more than a week above 14,000 feet, they simply ran out of supplies and had to abort the climb.

A very noble effort and a great example of the great feats that can be accomplished through the use of prosthetics.

ABC News has a great article on the historic legislation.

To quote Title IX:

“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

Happy birthday, Title IX!
