That’s a wrap on our first, but certainly not our last, competitive ropes league!
Huge thanks to all the climbers who showed up, pushed hard, and made it such a fun series. It came down to the wire, but Team “TBD” pulled ahead at the very end to take the win!
And a big thank you to our partners for supporting us each week and hooking up our winners with prizes.
See you next season for a bouldering league at a new location 👀
