2006 Teva Mountain Games

The country’s largest celebration of mountain sports, soul, and culture will return once again with the explosion of The Teva Mountain Games (TMG) in Vail, CO, May 31 – June 4, 2006.

Volunteers are needed for judging the competitions on Saturday from 8:30am-Noon. Judges will receive the best seats and some swag from Climbing Magazine. If you are interested contact scottrennak@yahoo.com or simply show up.

The Teva Mountain Games represent the nation’s largest venue for a bouldering competition, with 28,000 spectators expected throughout the weekend. It boasts the largest prize purse for any climbing competition in the United States with a combined cash purse of $16,000 distributed to winners of the difficulty bouldering, speed bouldering, and freestyle dyno divisions. In addition, the past two season’s segments of the TMG climbing competitions have been featured on networks such as OLN, NBC Sports, Fox Sports Net, and VH1.

In addition to the premier climbing competition, professional and amateur outdoor adventure athletes from locally and around the world will converge upon the mountains and rivers of Vail to compete in six sports and ten disciplines, including: extreme kayaking, kayak and raft paddlecross, mountain bike trials, cross country racing and the Vail Hill Climb, trail running championships, and the GNC adventure sprint race.

If you need just one more reason to attend, the Teva Mountain Games will include live music and mountain lifestyle parties with an eclectic mix of outdoor athletes.
