Bozeman could spend millions on ice climbing venue




Lead, South Dakota has pissed away another year of potential recovery and success by entombing itself in Republican stupidity while Bozeman storms into the future of recreation.

From Jodi Hausen's piece in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle:
Perhaps the most compelling notion about the 84-foot-tall tower that will also include an outdoor performance venue and flexible office space is that it could attract elite, competitive ice climbers to Bozeman, Anker and others told Commissioners Steve White and Joe Skinner. It will be built using stacked shipping containers as structural support and for the office spaces. There will be solar panels and the ability to reuse water from the ice to irrigate the adjacent baseball diamond. The tower has been in the works for two years and started with a design contest at MSU. Students from the schools of architecture and engineering formed teams and submitted designs.

Flood that big hole in Lead and have ice skating in the winter and pond diving in the summer.
