SLO Op has the best climbing competitions around!

Why? The executive directors have ten years of diverse event production background, including ten years of climbing competitions, triathlons, mud runs, adventure races, and more. We take our experience there and apply it to an annual climbing festivity!

Why compete? For most people, climbing is not inherently a competitive thing. While there is a format that allows us to quantify skill, the real value in climbing comps is the level of support you get from your peers, the extra “push” you get in trying to do your best that day on all-new routes you’ve never climbed before, and the big ol’ party that celebrates what you love!

SLO Op comps feature:

• cheap entry that covers guest setters, free beer, and refreshments for the setters who work three solid days to get ready for this thing
• new shirt designs
• prizes like chalkbags, ropes, shoes, and stickers
• free beer
• food available from neighboring vendors
• dj or emcee keeping the energy up the whole time

And don’t forget the extras, like our famous ALPINE KNOT TYING CONTEST!
