This is the comp that starts the season for me. But this year, I just ended the previous season two weeks ago. ::sigh:: That’s not much rest!

Weekend Preview: Aug 21 – 24

A quiet weekend with just two small comps, one on Friday and one on Monday. It will continue to be quiet for the next few weeks and then we pick back up in mid-September with the start of a new bouldering season.

Straight from Rock Spot: “This is a “just for fun” competition that revolves around our bouldering reset. The top 3 men and women of the competition will earn Rock Spot Climbing gift cards, bragging rights, and their picture on a plaque that will be displayed in the gym until the next reset, where they can try and defend their title.”

Weekend Preview: Aug 12 – 17

A couple options in Canada  and a couple in the US…kind of near the weekend:) And since you have the weekend open, use the time to tune into the last IFSC Bouldering World Cup of the season.  The overall men’s title is still very much up in the air and there is always some amazing climbing to watch!
