Imst austria 2006

this shows some shots from the Imst youth world championships. this was a great trip as well. i met kynan in boulder and we flew to london where we did the maintenance on one of the climbing walls on the royal carribean ships(his gym in florida has the contract on this). then we went to barcelona for some more wall work. then switzerland and germany. then austria. i think i took a total of 17 flights during this trip.
loved london, loved barca, loved austria....pretty much love europe.
i think we had a bunch of our kids on US team that year. bhops, boyko, carl, miki, who else? the US team had a whole hotel to ourselves. literally out of a story book, in the mountains of austria, with a hotel that looks like a gingerbread house. amazing place.
this really opened my eyes to what it means to coach. the euros do it for real. we went and trained at innsbruck (yes the mega facility that trains all the austria beasts) and also got to see all the euro teams in full squad.
