Go climbing at RockVentures' bouldering competition this Sunday.
If you're wondering what bouldering is, think about rock climbing, but make it scarier. Bouldering usually involves scaling boulders with an added daredevil touch: no safety ropes. In order to stay safe (or alive), climbers often place a crash pad below them and chalk up their hands for a better grip. RockVentures Indoor Climbing Facility brings in ballsy boulder climbers for its bouldering competition on Sunday, December 16. The competition allows area climbers to compete for a chance to attend the nationals held, appropriately, in Boulder, Colorado.
Registration for the contest costs $30-$35 for American Bouldering Series members and $35-40 for non-members. For observers, the cost is $5 which includes pizza and a drink. Registration takes place at 10 a.m. and the competition runs 1-4:30 p.m. For information, call 442-5462 and speak with Kent or Melissa or visit www.rockventures.net. - BY SUSANNAH SNIDER
