We're organizing an open style boulder competition on 22.2.2025 Saturday at our 24/7 Boulder (opposite main hall). There's no age limit for entering if youths are interested. There will be a qualification round with about 30 routes. Everyone climbs on the same routes. The "grades" will range from 5 to 8a. The amount of routes allows us to set a wider range of styles for different level of climbers. The top 6 from both series will get to compete in the finals. During the qualification round you can try the routes as many times as you can during the competition time. The finalists will be decided by who has the most tops with the least amount of tries.

Route setting will be handled by Niklas Wiechmann and the guys from Asetus attached to make your problems for the competition. Niklas has been a big influencer in the route setting scene and has been setting for +20 years. Some might recognize him from his youtube channel.
