Comp season, that is…
SCS Junior/Youth sport and speed climbing comps, The Ogden Climbing Festival, and the one that brings the whole Front family together (that means YOU), the FCC Bouldering Series!
Our Youth Teams are amped for sport climbing competition. They’ve been diligently training for endurance and honing their onsighting skills to pave the hopeful road towards the Nationals in Atlanta, in July. They’re a mighty strong bunch and they should do well!
The Ogden Climbing Festival is always a good time. For its 4th year, it kicks off with a Gear Demo and Top Chef Camp Cook-Off featuring Beth Rodden on Friday night, April 8th. The outdoor bouldering comp takes place on Saturday the 9th in the Ogden Boulder Field. Awards follow at the WSU Wildcat Theatre, then folks will head on over to see us at the Ogden Front for the After-Party! Get the details here.
The FCC Bouldering Series is a different kind of citizens’ comp. Don’t worry…it’s still all about having a blast trying hard, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, and the crazy-good energy that comes from cheering each other on. Here’s the lowdown: You compete at one of the three fine Front gyms in April. By way of the category you register in, you choose whether you want the fun to end there or whether you can’t stand to see it be over. If it’s the latter, sign up for the Open division, finish in the top 10, and get back to training the next day to prepare for the Championship Semi-Finals at the Front SLC in May. The Finals happen at the Get Outdoors Expo in Sandy the next day. OHHH…did we mention that you could win CASH MONEY? Schwag for ye citizen’s, too! Go here to get in on the schweetness!
