Bouldering competition for all abilities returns to South Lake Tahoe/Meyers

Some of the best developed climbing on the South Shore is on the numerous granite boulders scattered throughout the community of Meyers so it seems fitting that the 2016 Tahoe Bouldering Competition will take place there on September 17.

Former Bay Area residents and Touchstone employees Jen and Chris Bloch have taken on organizing the competition which was formerly known as the Meyers Climbing Festival.

There are new sponsors, more prizes and a large cash purse for winning participants. Also on tap are vendors, beer, food and much more.

“This competition is geared toward all ages and abilities and will be located in the bouldering areas surrounding Meyers,” said Jen. “Following the formal competition there will be a climbers festival with a DJ, food, beer, local venders and a dyno comp on a custom built overhanging 16 foot wall. Whether you come to climb, spectate or just have fun – this is the place to do it!”

The event is Saturday, September 17 from from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Check in early from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Friday, September 16 and get the best goodie bags!
