Gretna Outdoor Bouldering Comp

2012 Gretna Boulder Competition Poster

The 2nd Annual Gretna Bouldering Comp is Saturday, November 17 (rain date Nov. 18). It is an outdoor comp. Pre-regisration is only $20 and guarantees you a t-shirt and a burrito. If you wait until the day of the comp, its $25 and you will NOT get a t-shirt. It is not a USA Climbing sanctioned event but they promise great prizes, a new mini-guide for the competitors, new areas, a shoe demo and more importantly, plain diabase filled FUN. 


Shirts almost as cool as the Midnight Burn ;-)

It will be scored by difficulty with categories for prizes: kids under 12, beginner, intermediate, advanced, masters 35+.  First, second and third in both mens and womens for all categories...Everyone has a great chance to win a prize!

Registration opens at 8 am , Climbing starts at 9 am and ends around 4pm. Bring your own crash pad.
