Asian Bouldering Comp at Coex Mall Feb 26/27th

[danger]

Hey guys,

The owner of the gym I climb at is giving me an invitation to attend(watch) a bouldering comp at COEX next Saturday. It's an international comp -- other countries will send competitors too. I think it might be limited to Asia, but I'm not sure yet.

I haven't been able to google any deets yet but once I get the actual invitation I'll update you guys.

The competition was actually pretty well organized. It was part of a larger outdoor gear exhibition so it ended up being pretty well funded and produced.

Here are some videos from the comp courtesy Ace Climbing Club (http://cafe.daum.net/indooraceclimb), you can see some really strong climbers. Kim Ja ha in particular is pretty sick.
