Today, the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced their decision to cut sport climbing from the short list of sports being considered for the 2020 Olympics.
This past weekend, the New River Alliance of Climbers, in cooperation with the National Park Service, hosted the 10th New River Rendezvous at the New River Gorge, West Virginia.
The bouldering competition takes place on one of the most unique climbing structures ever built. Referred to as "the Cage," the structure looks more like Thunderdome than a traditional comp wall.
