Showdown(s) At Snowbird | Edlinger vs. Tribout and Destivelle vs. Hill
Check out our new book, Written In Stone: The 1990s!
In 1985, 19 of the top French climbers signed a manifesto against competition climbing. But competitions came anyway. Quickly, most of those same signees defected - becoming the climbers to beat at every event. As happens in every competitive sport, rivalries were formed, and would play out in the vertical theater.
In 1988, America would host its first International competition at Snowbird in Utah's Little Cottonwood Canyon. The 115 foot artificial wall would become a battlefield.
Competition versus climbing.
The organizers versus Didier Raboutou.
Catherine Destivelle versus Lynn Hill.
And for the crown, Jibe Tribout versus Patrick Edlinger.
It was going to be a showdown. Several of them.
