by Mick Ryan Gareth Parry came first in an invitational bouldering competition in Interlaken, Switzerland, at the Nissan Outdoor Games over the weekend of 28 June – 2 July. These Games are described as, “A multi-sports event, the Outdoor Games feature the world?s best athletes in 5 outdoor sports disciplines,” and feature mountain-biking, (Dirt jump contest), kayaking, (Extreme slalom, Boater Cross, Team race), rock climbing, (IFSC Boulder Master, Swiss Championships), paragliding (Acro demos), and BASE jumping (Air show). One of the most intriguing events is where teams of athletes joined by a pro-photographer, a pro-cameraman and a film editor make a 5 minute film and 20 still images with an adventure sports theme and then a winner is chosen.
