Norman Bouldering Competition 7 Pre-Set
Getting ready for the upcoming Norman Bouldering Competition on Saturday, February 21, 2015 at 5:30 pm and Climb Up in Norman, OK. This will be the 7th in the series and the first competition at Climb Up.
The Norman Bouldering Competition was created in 1998 as a means to get the local climbing community together for a day of climbing enjoyment. At that time we didn't have much in the way of wall space but we made the best of what we had. The first event took place in a small back room of a house where we'd built a climbing wall. It rained all day which would have put a damper on things because there wasn't enough room for everyone to stand indoors but we were all just so excited to be climbing that it didn't matter. The second location that day was across town in a garage climbing gym.
The event continued for six events total with the last one held in 2004. Since then, the NBC took a hiatus as life changes occurred. But we're excited to have this opportunity to re-introduce the original grassroots home-grown climbing event back to the community. Welcome back to climbing in Norman!
In preparation for the upcoming event we are going to be concealing an 80 foot section of bouldering wall. We will strip all the holds from the wall and re-set the entire thing on the Friday before the event. It should be quite an undertaking but the buzz in the air is fuel for setting great problems.
