Umm.... Basketball?

Oh yeah. Basketball. Depending on where you reside in the world, you may or may not know about the most intense basketball game of the year. For the past three years, climbers from The New and The Red have competed in a basketball game to determine the best climbing destination in the US (yep, determined by basketball). Here is a link to this years epic game and conclusion.

And...... it's in a contest. So if you are in the mood to help a fellow climber out - hit those stars in the bottom right of the video.

This would be like if Buff Johnson and I had a thumbwar to determine which of us could bench press the most.

I actually did play a lot of ball; broke more bones, and have more scars from inner city games, but I still fancy myself a talent of the highest porn star quality.

Looks like a good game, nice work on that Johnny!

Only cared about the Gorge Cup basketball game ,,,sorry to see the NRG won again on their home court...do climbers trying to send their year end projects in the great fall weather even care about the NBA or NFL for that matter?

^With organized sports dating back thousands of years, I would have to say some probably do.
Ps That game is an awesome tradition.

Hahaha that song is so deliciously bad! Thanks for sharing.

^Thats awesome. Being from Tucson I naturally think Cochise is the best area. But thanks for the stats.
AZ should form teams for Cochise and Paradise Forks and come down to claim the title.

Looks like a lot of fun. I'd try to bring a squad of southern boys up if there was a bracket...

More 'gorges' needed to make the official linup. What Gorge' climbing areas are super popular in the west to add? ..and do they have enough regulars there to post up a decent team?
