IceHoldz provided several holds to set the finals route at The Rock climbing gym indoor ice climbing competition on November 6, 2009. Gordon McArthur took first place and won the event as he was the only competitor to complete the finals route (M10+). Andres Marin of Colorado took a close second and Marc Beverly of New Mexico took third.
Some have commented this route was not an M10, and maybe it wasn't... just going by what I thought I overheard. In either case, Gordon's gracefully smooth and precise movements are what we all enjoy watching regardless of rating.
