2014 ABS 16 Blacklight Bouldering Competition + Party
Join us for the 10th Annual Blacklight Bouldering competition – also known as, one of the BEST climbing events in the region! This unique event combines the FUN of black lights with the EXCITEMENT and ENERGY of a climbing competition making it just as fun to watch as it is to participate. Improvements to sessions, flow, and decor will make this a year not to be missed! And, did we mention the DJ?! Open to ALL ages and abilities – check out the competition details below. (Volunteer Opportunities available, see additional info at the end of this post.)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Prizes:
• Open Category Prizes: 1st-$450, 2nd-$200, 3rd-$100. (Male & Female OPEN Categories)
• 1st Place in any other adult category will receive a product prize.
USAC Credit and OPEN Category:
• Youth CANNOT get USAC credit for the comp if they compete in the OPEN Category for prize money. In the unusual case that a youth participant wants to compete for BOTH USAC credit AND prize money, you must register for and climb in both sessions. Yes, that means they have to pay twice.
Climbing Time:
• Climbers will be allowed EXACTLY 3 hours to climb. All climbing will end at the 3 hour mark. (This is a change from previous years when we allowed climbers to finish the climb that they were in line for at the buzzer.)
