Outdoor Bouldering Contest — "3rd Annual Bear Valley Boulder Bash"

We are excited to host the "3rd Annual Bear Valley Boulder Bash" on Saturday August 16th, 2008. Last year proved that both experienced and novice boulderers could have a fun time pulling, cranking and cheering for one another at a scenic bouldering site 5 miles west of the Bear Valley. Our intent is not to host a world class competition but rather a friendly and fun sporting event. Everybody is encouraged to participate plus cash and prizes will be awarded to top finishers.
