A couple of times a year we sponsor a friendly bouldering competition that we call Bowl'dering League. As the hardcore
boulderers will attest, the competition is not that fierce. The competition has served primarily as an educational service to
newcomers, and as more of a social affair for the stronger climbers. If we could stir up a bit more interest, we would form
two leagues, one for the beginner and intermediate climbers, and one for the teenage mutant punks with tendons of steel.
If you think you might be interested in joining the next league, ask at the gym for the next starting date (we'll try to post
the starting dates on the calendar up to date). If you're a hardcore boulderer, and you're interested
in a more serious competition, please let us know. If we can stir up enough interest we'd love to start a second league.
In the meantime, please enjoy this sampling of photos from previous leagues.
