Ouray Ice Festival 2008

Že drugič grem fajtat na meni super dobro tekmo, ki je organizirana v času lednega festivala v Ourayu, majhnem mestecu ujetem sredi gora.
Festival se prične z open kvalifikacijsko tekmo v sredo, 9. januarja in zaključi v nedeljo, 13. januarja 2008. Komaj čakam!
 

Ouray, jao kako čudno ime! Tudi jaz ga prvič sploh nisem znala pravilno izgovorit, ker so skupaj same čudne črke... Kako se torej reče Ouray?! Izgovori se "piši kao što govoriš": ju-rej.


Meni največja odlika te tekme je, da se pleza v "naravnih" smereh, kjer te najprej vedno čaka kakšnih 20m strmega ledu, kateremu sledi prehod v sila neugodno skalo in zahtevno miks plezanje. Pleza se brez ostrog, moški in ženske plezajo v isti smeri, vzdušje je enkratno, navije te kot psa, od sebe pa daš več kot sploh misliš da si sposoben. Zame popolna kombinacija. Sledi še bogat spremljevalni program, super organizatorji, vroči vrelci, odlična predavanja in več sto lednih in miks smeri, ki samo čakajo na tvoje cepine!


V tokratni "open" tekmi, skozi katero se kvalificira v finalni del 12 fantov in 6 punc se bo pomerilo kar 46 tekmovalcev in tekmovalk, kateri smo izpolnili pristopne kriterije. Med njimi se bodo znašli tudi "naš" Steve House (mislim, da bo tekmoval že tretjič zapored), "naš" Evgeny Krivosheizsev (aktualni svetovni prvak v težavnosti in lanskoletni zmagovalec Ouraya), Will Gadd (zmagovalec iz Kanade na prvih tekmah svetovnega pokala in še na številnih drugih), Audrey Gariepy (odlična Kanadska plezalka, lanskoletna zmagovalka), Ines Papert (po zadnji štartni listi) in še mnogi drugi. Bo zanimivo!

Perfect Morocco

The expedition to Morocco was really great. We were enraptured with its diversity and hospitability of the local people. And especially with unbelievably amounts of reddish walls, one of the best limestone climbing cliffs we know!
