October 8th and 9th, 2011 – Boulder, Colorado was home to the first IFSC Lead World Cup on U.S. soil in over 20 years. Powered by The North Face, the competition gave climbers from 13 countries the opportunity to showcase their talents to a sold out crowd at Movement Climbing + Fitness.

For LT11 this weekend was a big deal.  We organized the video work, shot all aspects of the world cup weekend, worked with 24/7 TV to produce a live broadcast of the event, created pre produced pieced to promote and post production highlight reels.  We put in a lot of time to make sure the event was documented smoothly and correctly and we came away with a fantastic product.  Check out some behind the scenes photos and some great stills from the event.
