Hyalite Ice Breaker
Ice Climbing Competition
December 6, 2008
We are proud to present the "Hyalite Ice Breaker" INVITATIONAL; bringing 10 of the world's greatest climbers to Bozeman as they attempt to climb as many routes as possible in one day in America's most concentrated natural ice venue-Hyalite Canyon.
Our own local veterans, however, will be on hand to give the A-team, stars a Montana-style whipping as they compete for over $3,000 in prize money on December 4, 2008.
But just because you might not be a world-famous climber, doesn't mean you can't be part of the Hyalite Ice Breaker. Our OPEN Class on Saturday December 6th is the world's only competition open to ice climbers of any ability and experience (as long as you can lead climb).
Indeed, separate Advanced and Recreational Divisions leave up for grabs a whole raft of top-notch equipment and apparel from sponsors of the Bozeman Ice Festival; and perhaps more importantly, bragging rights.
Go big and take top spot in the Advanced OPEN Class and earn an automatic invite to next year's INVITATIONAL where you have the opportunity to climb and compete with the best ice climbers in the world, a chance at cash prizes and perhaps your name inscribed on the Invitational "Grivel Golden Ice Axe" - the Stanley Cup of ice climbing.
OPEN Class prizes will be awarded to the top three teams in both the Advanced and Recreational Divisions. Additional prizes will be awarded for other accomplishments, including: Top Men, Women & Mixed Teams, Top Team Under 21, Hardest Pitch, Most Pitches, Most Creative Team Name, Best Outfit and whatever else we can come up with.
