A unique bouldering competition that occurs on volumes and holds set on a steel cage at an outdoor sports festival.  There’s tons to do at this event, including watching some of the best climbers crush it.

Same venue, but now they’re climbing for speed!  Truly unique to watch, as it has a different flavor than either regular bouldering or speed climbing.  Check it out for yourself!

Ground Fall #3 – Bloc Shop, Montreal, QC

Cost: $5 + day pass
Climbing: 6:00pm – 10:00pm
Categories: none

This super fun and slightly ridiculous comp is one where you wear a harness, tie into a rope, and then boulder.  You have no belayer and, if you fall, you will fall on the ground. Hence the name.  Flash format on 4 problems/routes and you get points per hold.
