Side Events:
- One Leg Climbing Side Event - For this comp we included a new side event which was located in the Beginner canyon on the orientation wall which is already filled with big holds. 30’ roped climb where the climber can only use one foot to ascend the wall with. The climber was able to choose what foot to use but could not switch feet at any time during the climb. Fastest time wins a prize.
- Balance Beam Side Event - I built a 5 piece balance beam, three platforms and two 12’ beams, which could be used at the gym to train on. The Balance Beam was perfect to put in the comp but yet it still seemed to easy. So we added a element that once down at the low end of the beam the competitor had to throw a PRG fabric frisbee into a box, then run back to the start of the balance beam to stop the timer. Fastest time wins a prize.
- Dropped the Three Leg Side Event
Brian May and Erin Orwig set one boulder problem each.
Thanks Michelle Aubert and Erin Orwig for their extra help with the comp.

2008 T&D ribbon art and ribbons, MK Productions Of Course!
Dief created a few, I think it was 12 of them, metal plates with manufacturer sponsor logos on them. The plates were sent to the sponsors as a way of thanking the sponsors for sponsoring the T&D event. This plate shows the Prana logo. Blacksmith method of using 12 volt electric current on the metal while soaking in water with washing soda. This gives the metal a pitted antique look. The flat unpitted areas were protected by a thick sticker while soaking. Desert Rat Forge.
