The climbers get their first look at the new wall.

Daniel Berman was a surprise qualifier.

Vasya Vorotnikov, not a surprise at all.

Thanks to Gavin Heverly and the Boston Rock Gym, who gave me a shiny, laminated photographer's pass, I got some shots I wouldn't otherwise be able to get. Keep checking my Heart ov Zteel 2011 page as I post photos from the finals round over the next several days.
