Canadian Bouldering Championships - Men - part 2 of 2

On May 17th 2009, Allez Up hosted the finals of the Tour de Bloc (Canadian Bouldering Championships) for the second time. The event was streamed live on the internet with a setup that had never been seen before in the climbing world. Six cameramen, 2 commentators and live editing.

While the women video was edited chronologically we decided to edit this one more traditionally, showing each problems one by one. Part of this is because John Bowles won the comp even though he was one of the first out of iso and also because the commentators were often busy interviewing the women. Therefore we used music in this video (from JMDLP and Dasimon).

Big thanks to the Mountain Equipment Coop for supporting the Tour all these years.
Big up to Antoine Grant who was the man behind the webcast. We couldn't have done it without you.

[curlzzzzz]

anyone know the name of the ending credits song??

[DRT0P0]

It's a very short song by Jean-Marc de la Plante. I don't know if he named it and I can't ask him now cuz the lucky bastard is sailing in the Caribbean for a month.
