Boulder-Palooza & Power & Poise is TONIGHT!

We’re taking over the gym (and the parking lot!) with:

🧗‍♂️ Climbing & games
🎲 Fun activities for climbers and non-climbers
🤝 Local business stands (business stand announcements & spotlights coming later this week!)
😁 1 free guest per member

This is a Community Event!
✨ Members: Free!
✨ Member Guest: Free (gear included)!
✨ Guest (non-member): $10 (gear included)!

Like last year, as a part of Boulder-Palooza, we will be continuing with our second-annual Power & Poise Partner Competition!

During Power & Poise, climbers climb in teams of 2. One climber tackles a wall of dynos while the other takes on a no-hands slab. Together you get 4 minutes to split between the two climbs however you choose. Strategy is key! Sign up for either recreational or competitive depending on your preferred experience!
