Welcome to the biggest, baddest bouldering competition in the West: The Battleship Bounty. The Bounty more than a just climbing comp. It’s our biggest gathering of the year. It's a day of stoke. It's a showcase of climbing. It's one heck of a party. Mark your calendar now for March 22nd and don’t miss out. The Bounty includes two climbing categories:

Citizens Category

Our all-level competition includes a full gym set with fun and unique comp-style boulders that will give climbers of all ages and skill levels a chance to climb with friends, strive for personal bests, and proudly stand on the same podium as the best climbers in the country. After climbing hard, party harder with food, beer, and prizes at the open finals.

Citizen competition registration includes a raffle ticket, all the free beer you can drink during open finals (21+), a competition shirt, and other fun swag from our event partners.

Open Category

Our elite-level competition offers a chance at the $14,000 cash bounty! Open competitors will start with the qualifying round in the morning. Finalists will throw down at open finals to cap off the night under the lights.

The Battleship Bounty is back again and it's bigger and badder than ever! In just three short years, we've built The Bounty into an elite-level bouldering competition that attracts climbers ranging from local crushers to Olympians to compete for their share of the $14,000 bounty.

New this year, we’re spreading the stoke to the whole climbing community with the addition of a citizens competition, giving climbers of all ages and skill levels to get in on the action. Climbers in the citizens category will start their morning climbing with friends and striving for personal bests for a chance to win prizes from our incredible partners. When the citizens competition wraps up, we’ll keep the fun rollin’ with the awards ceremony, food, games, and vendors. The open category finals will be the grand finale under the lights with tunes from our favorite DJ, Specific Heat.

Our goal is to make the Bounty more than just a showcase of climbing. We aim to bring the Northern Colorado climbing community together for a full day of stoke, community, and camaraderie, with a healthy dose of that good old competitive spirit. If you've got what it takes to compete for a piece of the $14,000 bounty, sign up in the open category and come throw down! If you're more into a fun day of climbing with the community and taking home some awesome prizes from our partners, compete in the citizens category and stick around to watch the open finals under the lights at the end of the night!
