Plaidman Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) This is fun stuff for the kids. It is a bouldering competition but it is not all just a grinding ordeal. The older kids are way more serious because most of them have been at it awhile. The atmosphere is encouraging and the energy is good. The focus is do your best and enjoy. I love watching these young athletes. Some of them will go on to do great things in the climbing community. They are starting a lot younger than I did. They will be in for a life long adventure. The Kidfest Boulder Competition will be in an open format. There will be six categories: Recreational Youth division (8-13 years old) boys and girls, Recreational Junior division (13-18 years old) boys and girls, and Advanced division (all ages, 3+ years of competitive climbing) boys and girls. Winners will be awarded prizes based on the total accumulation of points over the two days of competition. All participants will receive a goody bag and t-shirt. To participate in this event or enjoy some of the other events register at Climb Max Mountaineering at 928 Northeast 28th Avenue, Portland, OR - (503) 797-1991 or visit the online registration site.
