Oktboulderfest 2009

THURSDAY, 22 OCTOBER 2009
Submitted By: Sherwin Mapanoo

You don't have to be German, you don't have to wear lederhosen (although you should) - you don't even have to like Schweinsbraten. The only requirement - you MUST love to boulder.

Come celebrate bouldering (please leave the beer at home) with Vertical Endeavors on Saturday, October 24th, 2009 for the inaugural Oktboulderfest. Strictly a bouldering competition, Oktboulderfest 2009 will be a chance to get together with fellow bouldering aficionados for a day of sending, laughing, and enjoying the gym’s crisp fall temps.

Just like last year's bouldering comp, there will be LOTS of free stuff from climbing companies to dish out in a superb raffle and enough coffee to drown yourself in the morning.

Oktboulderfest is sanctioned by USA Climbing and the American Bouldering Series (www.usaclimbing.org, ABS comps take place all over the country). With five youth and five adult categories, there will be plenty of options for everyone - of all abilities. Climbing competitions are all about having fun within the climbing community and challenging yourself, not about who walks away with the prize. Preregister today.
