Mind of Meinhold

Posted by neslorelyks on 5/23/2007
Groups: New River Rendezvous

We came, we saw, he conquered. Unsurprising to few, Stephen Meinhold took home the gold in the expert bouldering and expert sport climbing competitions. The man is ridiculous with a pretty stellar climbing background, he left the competition in his wake this weekend with an incredible 23,100 points in the expert sport climbing comp ( the closest competitor had a meager 8,292 points--that is a 14,808 point deficit). Stephen put up 5 5.13 routes and 5 5.12 routes to come up with that reduncyafunct score. In the expert bouldering comp, Stephen sent 3 v10's to clinch the title with a score of 2,291 points which crushed all of the other climbers by at least 733 points. When asked about his performance the guy casually shrugged off the accomplishment and chalked it up to having a good day. Stephen Meinhold really showed us little people what climbing hard is all about. Let's not forget the guy has a heart as well, after receiving his winnings from both of the competitions, Stephen grabbed a hundred dollar bill from his earnings and dared someone to match the amount in a donation to the Access Fund. This man is special, this man is inspiring, thanks Stephen for killing us this weekend.

Dear Rendezvousers,

My name is Skyler Olsen, and I will be your eyes and ears for the upcoming jamboree. I have been warming up for the comp and ready to report the hell outta anything sick. Speaking of such things, there are a couple of main events goin on that will be the centerpiece of my blogs...numero uno is the freak himself Stephen Meinhold and the rumors flyin around that he is goin to compete in all three events (trad, sport, and bouldering); numero dos being the crazy night dyno competition being put on by Charlotte's finest homeboys Project Holds; and last but not least the partyin that will most likely be stellar at the very least. Im lookin forward to seeing everybody there. Seeya out there.
