As the leaves fall and the crisp air has you reaching for your favorite sweater, get ready to rip it off and climb in the hottest bouldering competition since the Riverrock Boulder Bash! Open to all climbers 16 and older, this competition has a division for you. We've got Recreational if you're just starting out, all the way up to Open for the crushers who spend so much time in the gym, they may as well chip in for the rent. We've even got the Stone Masters for those who've been climbing long enough to remember lycra tights being the norm, so throw that set of hexes back in the closet where they belong and sign on up!

We'll have food trucks on site, community vendors, mini games, beer for sale, and a Finals Showdown to remember!

We've even got the Stone Masters for those who've been climbing long enough to remember lycra tights being the norm, so throw that set of hexes back in the closet where they belong and sign on up!

We'll have food trucks on site, community vendors, mini games, beer for sale, and a Finals Showdown to remember! Plus, a prize pool tastier than that first sip of your lunch break PSL topped with a $1000 cash purse. So tell that barista to add a few more pumps of whatever elixer makes it taste like "pumpkin" because if you win this, you'll be rolling deeper than the pile of leaves your dad still can't believe you jumped in... I mean, he did just rake them... we're getting distracted.

Check out the details below and get stoked for the Fall Flash Fest 2024!
