This rough n’ rowdy bouldering competition comes crashing back to Ogden this summer! Join us for climbing, a post-competition social with a mechanical bull (yeehaw!), a local maker’s market, and the return of competitive climbing to the most northern Front location. Put on your best Western wear – we’re having a costume contest during the awards ceremonies!

Comp Etiquette

First and foremost, our comps are meant to be fun and to establish camaraderie within our community. These are a great way to meet and climb with those who share your love of the sport. We encourage you to be supportive of your fellow climber.

Etiquette Guidelines:
  • Wait your turn and be courteous.
  • Stay off the pads if you’re not climbing.
  • Be safe – don’t walk, run or climb under others.
  • Don’t get frustrated; stay positive and have fun!
First time?
  • Be sure to watch others for beta.
  • Pace yourself – remember, it’s a timed event, not a race!
  • Don’t take it too seriously! Don’t be intimidated by the term “competition.”
