1. Welcome Note
Dear media representatives,
Welcome to adidas ROCKSTARS 2012! We are thrilled to host the second edition of
our boulder invitational contest in Stuttgart’s beautiful Porsche-Arena, one of the
most modern sports arenas in Europe.
This year’s event sees 70 top class athletes from 20 different countries, including four
of the reigning world championship medallists and 13 of the top 10 men and women
in the current boulder world ranking. So you can look forward to a top-notch
competiton.
When we first came up with the idea for adidas ROCKSTARS, nearly every single
athlete we talked to mentioned that the best competitions are the ones with a great
atmosphere and good music. That input encouraged us to implement our idea of
combining rock climbing with rock music live on stage. This year, the Swiss rock
band Sideburn will accompany the final of the top 6 men and women live.
However, this weekend does not only see professional bouldering athletes in the
spotlight. Many talented and aspiring amateur climbers from 8 different countries
have signed up for the ”GORE-TEX Be a Rockstar“ contest to win a wild card for the
pro competition. Six of them will be in the limelight during the “Build your Boulder”
final on Saturday afternoon, when they share the stage with climbing celebrities and
the Beatbox Battle Allstars.
With the adidas ROCKSTARS Media Guide we would like to provide you with all the
necessary background information you need for your report.
Don’t hesitate to contact us, if you have any queries or would like to make an
interview appointment with an athlete or a member of the organisation.
Warm Regards
Sonja Güldner-Hamel
adidas ROCKSTARS Media Director

4. adidas ROCKSTARS
4.1 General Information
adidas ROCKSTARS at the Porsche-Arena in Stuttgart is a top-class
invitational competition for the world’s best bouldering athletes. The event
uniquely combines elite sports with live music turning a climbing competition
into a true „rock show“.
Nearly everyone has experienced the motivating power of music over our body and
soul. Music can release emotions within seconds; the right beat encourages us to tap
our feet or clap our hands; a familiar tune invites us to sing along. Music drives us
and makes emotional moments unforgettable. Sport and music are closely connected
– even in sports climbing. It is no secret that many bouldering athletes name their
routes after songs they listen to when mastering a project. Music is also an integral
part of a good sports event, because it puts heroes in the spotlight, creates
excitement and entertains the crowds. Intoxicating music and a great atmosphere
encourage athletes to compete at their physical best.
adidas ROCKSTARS creatively picks up this connection between sport and music. In
order to celebrate the heroes of the international bouldering community like „rock
stars“ the organisers transform the climbing competition into an elaborately staged
show with live music. Several music acts will perform throughout the day. The Swiss
rock band Sideburn has the most challenging job, as they will accompany the adidas
ROCKSTARS final of the top 6 men and women live on Saturday evening and they
have to adjust their music program to the competition flow. Not an easy task for a
band, which is used to take center stage. But with 20 years of experience under their
belt, Sideburn are looking forward to the new challenge: to create the intoxicating
musical setting for an outstanding performance on artificial rock, stimulate the crowds
during the final, and involve them in the show.
Invitational Competition
The stand-alone competition is geared to the top bouldering athletes of the IFSC
world ranking (International Federation of Sport Climbing). Seventy athletes from 20
different countries (40 men and 30 women) have been invited to Stuttgart.
20 men and 20 women can qualify on Friday for the semifinal on Saturday. In the
qualification the athletes have a window of four minutes and in the semifinal of five
minutes on each of four different boulders.
The top 6 men and women advance to the final on Saturday evening. The finalists
first climb on two boulders, one after another. Then the top three advance to the next
round, in which they compete on a third boulder problem for the superfinal.
6
In the superfinal, the two best men and women compete in direct comparison on a
so-called “super boulder”, which was specifically created for the event. They climb
simultaneously an identical route on two sides of the same boulder. In the superfinal
it’s not sufficient to hold the top grip for three seconds like in the previous rounds. As
it is custom when bouldering outdoors on natural rock, the athletes must stand with
both feet on top of the boulder block and touch a buzzer, which will determine the
winner in case of a hairbreadth finish.
In this thrilling duel the two superfinalists need both, excellent skills and good nerves.
Although the climbers cannot see each other, the beat of the live band and the
cheers of the crowds will reflect what is happening on the other side. The person who
first stands upright on the super boulder is the merited adidas ROCKSTAR 2012 and
wins 4000 Euros.
World-class field lined up for 2012
The start list of this year’s event reads like the who's who in bouldering: the field
includes last year's ROCKSTARS winner and Boulder World Champion 2007/2011
Dmitry Sharafutdinov (RUS), the two time overall Boulder World Cup winner Akiyo
Noguchi (JAP), the current leader of the Boulder World Cup Rustam Gelmanov
(RUS), the reigning Climbing World Champion Combined Sasha DiGiulian (USA), the
six time American Boulder Champion Alex Puccio (USA), the French Champion 2010
and fourth in the 2011 World Cup overall Mélissa Le Nevé (FRA), Guillaume Glairon
Mondet (FRA) who is currently fourth in the IFSC world ranking, the American
Boulder Champion 2011 Alex David Johnson (USA), as well as the top
German bouldering athletes Juliane Wurm (German Champion, European Silver
Medallist 2010, 3rd BCW Vail 2012), Jonas Baumann (1st BWC Vail 2009), Jan Hojer
(3rd BWC Vail 2012) and Mathias Conrad (7th BWC Sheffield 2011). Shooting star
Shauna Coxsey (GBR), currently second in the World Cup overall ranking, had to
withdraw last minute due to a fracture of the leg.
The level of performance in the Boulder World Cup has rarely been higher than this
year, so the spectators can look forward to a thrilling competition.
Service to athletes
Service to the athlete is the core philosophy of adidas at every event they organise or
support. “For us athletes always take centre stage”, says Axel Burkhardt, head of
Olympic Sports, Cycling and Outdoor at adidas Global Sports Marketing. “Only if the
athletes feel comfortable they can surpass themselves. That’s why we do a few
things differently. Rather than an isolation zone we created an Athlete Lounge
backstage, i.e. a chill zone with recovery area, a big warm-up wall, sports nutrition
and athlete catering. Before and after the competition the athletes can enjoy
complimentary massages, physiotherapy and sport medical consulting at our Reload
Centre. The better they feel the better they will perform and that makes the
competiton more exciting for everyone.”

4.3 Regulations*
* This is just an abstract of the most important rules. For the complete body of regulations
please go to adidas-rockstars.com
General
The boulder competition adidas ROCKSTARS consists of
• a qualification
• a semifinal
• a final
• and a superfinal
The judge for each boulder problem is termed as
• a Boulder Referee, who reports to the Head Referee.
Each boulder includes a clear and defined starting point from which all attempts must
be started.
• This starting point consists of a clearly defined position for both hands and for
one foot or both feet.
• The starting point is for all boulder problems identically marked.
Each boulder problem is equipped with a “zone” hold, i.e. holding of a specific handle
for extra points (even without completing the problem).
The Chief Route Setter determines the exact position of this hold.
The marking of this hold is clearly highlighted and differs from the marking of
the starting position.
• The marking of this hold is identical for all boulder problems.
• The zone bonus is also awarded once a competitor has successfully climbed
the boulder without reaching the zone hold.
A boulder problem is counted as “top“ once the competitor has reached the
designated top hold with both hands holding it for at least 3 seconds. This position
•
•

Procedure
During the qualification (40+x men and 30+x women are permitted) and semifinal (20
men and 20 women + 2 Wildcards) round each competitor has to attempt the four
boulder problems in a given order. After each boulder, the competitor gets a
recreational break of 4 minutes during qualification and 5 minutes during the
semifinal.
During the final round (6 men and 6 women) the boulder problems also have to be
attempted in a given order and with a rotation period of 4+ minutes. The athlete is
allowed to make her/his last attempt by finishing her/his 5th minute.
During the final round, the 6 finalists climb two different boulders. The best 3 finalists
of this round fight on a third boulder problem for the super final.
The start and finish of each rotation period are announced by
•
•
•
a clear and acoustic sound
the emcee
the starting of the stopwatch
Within the superfinal the last 2 finalists (men and women separately) compete
simultaneously at the same boulder (super boulder) climbing identical routes. The
athlete who makes it first to the top wins the title. The boulder is counted as “top“
once the competitor has reached a standing position on top of the boulder and hits
the buzzer. This position needs to be confirmed by the respective Boulder Referee
with a clear “OK“ and by raising the yellow referee card.
Before a competitor starts his/her attempt, all holds and steps have to be cleaned by
the Boulder Referee or his assistant. The competitor is allowed to ask for a specific
cleaning prior to his/her attempt.
Only cleaning materials provided by the organizer may be used during the
competition. The athlete may also clean holds and steps him/herself.
An attempt is regarded as started and counted
• once both feet have left the ground from the starting position.
• once hands and feet have touched other holds than the starting holds.
• by adding of markings and signs.
An attempt is regarded as completed once
• the boulder problem has been successfully topped as stated in paragraph 1.5.
• the competitor has touched the ground with any of his body parts.
• the competitor has not completed his/her attempts within the rotation period.
• the competitor has not started as demonstrated by the Boulder Referee.
• the competitor has used any part of the wall that is not open for bouldering.
10
In case of breaching the rules the competitor has to stop the competition and leave
the competition arena.
The organizer reserves the right to make any changes for the good of the athletes
and the event. In case of undertaking changes, the organizer will announce them in
advance.
Points System

in the exact given order:
•
•
•
•
number of tops reached.
number of attempts reaching that top.
number of zone holds (bonus) reached.
number of attempts reaching these zone holds.
In case several competitors are ranked among the top three after the final round a tie
is carried out complying with the following rules:
• Each competitor has only one attempt according to the same starting order as
in the final round.
• A specific boulder time is defined.
• This boulder attempt has to start within 40 seconds.
• If no finalist has reached the top and the results remain unchanged another
attempt is conducted until the finalists are separated with maximum of 5
attempts.
In case both finalists reach the top at the same time during the superfinal, both
athletes are ranked first, considered as equally strong and the prize/ prize money is
equally divided.
4.4 Head Referee
adidas ROCKSTARS head referee Johannes Altner (GER) started climbing at the
age of 12 and has experienced the sport from various angles in the past 32 years of
his climbing career: as competition climber, as route setter on national level, as
climbing coach and adventure educator, and since 2000 also as referee. In 2005
Hannes started working at international competitions and since 2008 he is managing
the referee team at World Cup events as head referee. His preference are boulder
comps, because „there is always such a familiar atmosphere despite being a highly
professional elite sport. The athletes are not opponents but friends, who get on well
no matter where they are from.“ His aim as head referee is to facilitate a fair, good
and enjoyable competition for the athletes.

5. GORE-TEX Be a Rockstar Amateur Contest
GORE-TEX Be a Rockstar is a stepping-stone for enthusiastic amateurs aged 16 and
over, who would like to compete once with the world’s best bouldering athletes, as
the winners of the qualification receive a wildcard for the adidas ROCKSTARS pro
competition and enter the semi final on Saturday afternoon. There they compete
alongside the top stars of the international bouldering community for a place in the
final. In addition, the top three men and women of the amateur comp spend one day
in the limelight in their very own final: a “Build your Boulder” contest.
A total of 100 athletes (men and women) are permitted to the GORE-TEX Be a
Rockstar contest. They compete in a jam session format, that means they must climb
8 different boulder problems in a random order within a given time frame.
On Saturday afternoon, the top three men and women of the qualification battle it out
in a Build your Boulder format. Here the finalists form a team of two with a top athlete
(Beat Kammerlander, Alex Luger, Bernd Zangerl, Barbara Zangerl, Mayan SmithGobat) drawn by lot. As a team they have one hour to set their own route. In order to
claim victory the finalists need creativity, speed, and self-evaluation, because only by
topping their own boulder problem they have a chance to win.
Each finalist must climb all three self-built problems as well as a fourth boulder set by
the chief route setter. The competitor who tops the most boulders in the end
claims the GORE-TEX Be a Rockstar crown.

6. adidas ROCKSTARS Boulder Walls
Boulder walls (left/right): two 9m wide walls, constructed by Sintroc
300 boards/1200 hinges/ 5000 screws/ 200 adjustable board holders/ 70 steel beams
Super boulder (centre): boulder with two identical walls, constructed by ArtRock
Volumes and holds: Squadra, e-Grips
Boulder mats: Bänfer
Total width of stage: 33m
This year the athletes will be facing a virgin competition wall, which has never been
climbed before. The two nine meter wide boulder walls of Italian manufacturer Sintroc
have been built specifically for the competition, just like the super boulder, which was
created for the inaugural event last year. Thus none of the athletes have an
advantage in terms of experience. Set-up of the mobile climbing wall started one
week prior to the event.
22
7. Route Setters
The quality of the routes is vital for a good competition. After all, adidas
ROCKSTARS wants to demonstrate the skills of the international boulder elite. At the
same time the route setters try to live up to the interests of spectators and the media.
That asks for instinct feel. Boulders have to be set in a fair way with equal
opportunities for all athletes. At the same time they should severely test the skills of
the competitor: flexibility, strength, endurance, creativity, orientation. In an ideal case
only one athlete masters the most difficult problem. But if the boulders are too tough,
it could backfire. This is when many years of competition and route setting
experience come into play.
Reinhard Fichtinger, better known as "Reini", leads the quartet as chief route setter.
The 37-year-old started climbing over 20 years ago and was leading the Austrian
competition ranking for a long time together with Kilian Fischhuber. Today he is an
instructor for Austrian route setters. Reini set his first routes in his local climbing gym
in Innsbruck, when it was first built. In 2001 he set his first competition. Since then he
has been working hard for his well-deserved reputation as a route setter, which
proceeds him in Austria and worldwide. His motivation results from the constant need
for new training routes. His philosophy when setting routes is that they must not only
be interesting for climbers, but also for spectators. He gets around much and loves
listening to “eich dodl gib i gas“ by Austrofed, while climbing and working. He is a
down to earth person, who enjoys hanging out with his mates in a boulder gym and
pursues his passion - CLIMBING!
Laurent Laporte or "Larry" from France has more than 20 years of experience in
route setting. He can’t really remember how he got into building boulders, but he
knows very well why he's still passionately doing it: he loves being creative. He
enjoys trying the boulder himself, the tension during the competition and the relief
afterwards. Laurent has already set four world championships and diverse world cup
routes. To the frenchman each contest is a new challenge. In his opinion the biggest
difficulty to set a good route is to play with the rhythm, always searching for new
concepts to be able to screw a good show. In his spare time Larry carves climbing
holds, listens to Nirvana and AC/DC or just surfs on the wave of his life.
Matthias Woitzuck is the second Austrian in the team. The Viennese has
been setting routes for seven years now, also likes to be creative and to express
himself through climbing. Matthias enjoys meeting up with other route setters to
share different styles. His most important route setting project to date was the world
cup in Vienna, where he gained a lot of experience. What matters most in
competitions in his opinion, is to set routes that are enjoyable but also challenging
enough for the athletes and entertain the crowds, of course. Matthias is a full-blooded
rocker and listens to “Rage against the machine“. When he’s not climbing in the gym
you might find him outside skydiving or speedflying.
23
Chris Danielson has been a chief route setter for national competitions for nearly 10
years and the leading American route setter for the IFSC Boulder and Lead World
Cups in the US. Since 2006, he has developed a national route setting program and
is the primary instructor for the US federation. Chris began climbing and route setting
almost 20 years ago in his home state of New York and quickly became obsessed
with bouldering after a first trip to Hueco Tanks. Playing with movement is a neverending passion and the lens through which he thinks about and approaches
climbing. With graduate studies in philosophy, Chris takes both an analytical and
artistic approach to route setting, looking to always better understand climbing
mechanics and build inspiring sequences. When not helping to set up competitions,
Chris is an independent consultant for climbing wall businesses and representative
for top climbing brands in North America, through his company Thread Climbing.
8. Music Acts
SIDEBURN
With a rich 20-year history, Swiss quintet Sideburn knows the power of rock well
enough. They’ve been there, done that, and are possibly, the best-kept secret in
rock'n'roll. So it's no surprise that their song “Six feet under” was picked by
20th Century Fox Studios to be featured in an episode of the Fox Network TV show
“24” with Kiefer Sutherland, or that they opened for some of the biggest acts in the
industry (e.g. Def Leppard, Kiss, Krokus, Gotthard, Dio, Doro, Motörhead, Thin Lizzy,
Uriah Heep, Meat Loaf and lots more). The name "Sideburn," in fact, is also
admittedly rooted in rock tradition; it stems from the facial adornment of none other
than Elvis Presley and it was chosen „because it sounded so rock and roll."
Sideburn create that classic rock sound (a mix of AC/DC and ZZ Top) that is
guaranteed to make you pump up the volume, dust off that air-guitar, tap your feet
and most importantly, push the climbers to grow beyond their limits. Sideburn will
play live during the final of the top 6 men and women. The Swiss band even wrote
and recorded a special theme song with climbing lyrics for adidas ROCKSTARS
2012.

THE BETH EDGES
Everyone knows what it is like to be dumped; it sure doesn’t feel good. Not getting
the woman… is even worse. It is the bigheaded memories of what could have been
which remain. What should you do, how do you continue life, how should you get
over it? Should you write her a song? Nope. It’s better to name a whole band for the
non-girlfriend to keep her very close. That’s how the Austrian girl Elisabeth Ecker
became
THE BETH EDGES .
Youth is wasted on the young? You must be joking! It’s really remarkable what type
of music those young guys are producing on their first singles "time", "i guess" and
"work things out" (VÖ Acute Music) and even more so when you put them on a stage.
You could think this band has already played on each big stage across the Atlantic
Ocean and the English Channel.The members themselves are rather cool with that.
“Writing good songs, being a tight band and ideally giving the audience what it wants,
but with pleasure” says the quartet unpretentiously. Influenced by many great acts of
the current Indie and guitar hype the band, which has been performing for one year
now, produces catchy tunes through a signature combination of salacious four-to-thefloor beats, retro guitars and easy-going vocals. Sure, they have been listening
closely to Strokes songs just as they know how to perform like current Britpop bands.
Anyway, they are a world away from copying. That stuff is quite refreshing, yeah.In
the 14 new songs of their new second album „Blank Coins, Round Dice“ (released
on May 4th, 2012) the band's experience of the past two exciting and formative years
is reflected, even though Tobias Grünzweil protests against a too autobiographic
interpretation of his lyrics.
As the title says, things are moving, pending, every single moment.To express this
moment as honest and pure as possible, the band decided, with producer Paul
Kinski, to abdicate any technical nick-nack and to record all 14 songs of the new
album completely live. Sort of oldschool: a moment, a song, a record. With respect,
that's how pop music is done!

CAMERO (SUI)
A man, a mouth, a band. Camero is a passionate beatboxer and noise impersonator
from Eastern Switzerland. Already as a young boy he started imitating sounds and
music with his mouth. Especially Michael Winslow, the popular sound imitator from
the movie "Police Academy" inspired him. "Whoever can do that, is the coolest
person ever," said Camero to himself . Since then, the native Colombian practices
every single day and performs his own shows. In 2004 he was awarded at the first
Swiss Beatbox Battle in Biel with third place, including the "Best Show 2004". In 2005

produced his first album; meanwhile Camero ranks among the world's best
beatboxers. He calls himself the "human beat box entertainer”. "I am fascinating the
audience not only with sounds, but I also tell stories and do some acts with humorous
parts."

ROXORLOOPS (BEL)
RoxorLoops took second place at the Beatbox Battle World Championship 2005. He
started beatboxing at the age of 17 (2001). Since every other beatboxer had a
nickname, he thought he would need one too: Roxor = the one who rocks, and
loops = (repeat) loop. Early on, he began to take part in Beatbox Battles. In 2004 he
won the Belgian Championship, one year later he was runner-up at the World
Championships. Today he is a regular jury member at Beatbox competitions and
Beatbox World Championships. He already worked with some top-class a-cappella
groups, like The Swingle Singers and Voces8. He also won the Blue Note Jazz
Award for outstanding individual performance. RoxorLoops wrote the Belgian song
for the Euro Vision Song Contest 2011, which was seen by more than 200 million
people worldwide. Currently he is working closely with the group Zap Mama on a new
vocal project.

9. Porsche-Arena
A perfect hall for sports events.
Stuttgart’s Porsche-Arena opened in May 2006 celebrating its premiere with the
German live TV show ‘Verstehen Sie Spaß?’.
It’s the perfect venue for a diversity of events, like handball, basketball, tennis, ice
hockey, boxing, music concerts or corporate events. With a capacity of 7,500 seats,
the Porsche-Arena is a true “quick-change genius” and offers boundless possibilities.
The Porsche-Arena was a cauldron for the Handball World Championship matches.
It’s where women tennis players have had to play on ice. Obviously not directly, but
the permanently installed frozen surface makes it easy to stage ice hockey matches
and shows like Holiday on Ice. Thanks to its steep grandstands, all spectators are
close to the action. Stars and bands are within grasp, which creates a unique
atmosphere. The hall is predestined for sports. Depending on the event, different
floors can be laid in the shortest possible time.
10. Glossary
Bouldering
Is a style of rock climbing undertaken without a rope and normally limited to very
short climbs over a crash pad (called a bouldering mat) so that a fall will not result in
serious injury. It is typically practiced on large natural boulders or artificial boulders in
gyms and outdoor urban areas. The goal of competitive bouldering is to reach a hold
that is marked as ‘top’ using as few attempts as possible. Therefore bouldering
emphasizes power, strength, and dynamics.
Route/ Problem
A route or problem is a particular sequence of a several holds and steps on a boulder
wall, set by the route setter.
Top
One hold on the boulder wall is marked as top. To solve the boulder probem
successfully the athlete must reach that specific hold and hold it for 3 seconds.
Flash
To successfully complete a boulder problem on the first attempt.
Bonus/ Zone
Each boulder problem is equipped with a “zone” hold, i.e. holding of a specific handle
for extra points, even without completing the problem.
28
Deadpoint
The Deadpoint is basically a controlled dynamic move where you use momentum to
gain a higher handhold. In a deadpoint you still maintain at least one or two points of
contact with the rock.
Dyno
The Dyno is similiar to a deadpoint except you leave contact with the rock while
making a lunge for a higher hold.
Sloper
Climbers must use an open hand (like palming a basketball) to grab on to these
holds that have little to no difference in surface texture. That makes it pretty difficult to
climb that specific hold.
Pinchers
You grab that hold with your fingers and thumb, i.e. you must pinch it to hold on.
Crimp(er)s
A hold which is only just big enough to be grasped with the tips of the fingers.
Foot hook
A climbing technique involving hooking a heel or toe against a hold in order to
balance or to provide additional support.
Speed (competitive climbing)
The goal of speed climbing is to climb a route as fast as possible. In each round two
athletes are climbing identical routes next to each other. After a short brake they
switch sides and climb again. The faster athlete advances to the next round.
Lead (competitive climbing)
Climbing discipline undertaken with a rope. The athletes have to climb a challenging
route of about 15 - 20 meters height on-sight (with no prior practice). The maximum
height is valuated. Athletes are allowed to study the routes from the bottom a few
minutes before the competition starts.
Transit Zone
After his first climbing attempt the athlete must return to the transit zone, where he
prepares himself for the next round. From there it is not possible to see the boulder
wall or other athletes during their climb to avoid unfair advantage.
IFSC
The International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) is the international governing
body for the sport of competitive climbing, which consists of the disciplines lead
climbing, speed climbing, and bouldering.
