Battleship Bounty 2025
March 22, 2025
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.

Non-Profit Partner
Adaptive Adventures
Each year, we partner with a non-profit organization and donate 100% of the raffle proceeds to help them continue to achieve their goals. This year's partner is Adaptive Adventures. They’re a nationwide non-profit based right here in Colorado that brings progressive outdoor adventures like climbing to children, adults, and veterans with physical disabilities. We get to see the impact of their efforts on a regular basis right here at the gym during their adaptive climbing nights and we could not be more proud to partner with them. When you purchase raffle tickets to win rad prizes, you'll also be making a donation to help them continue to offer adventures like climbing, skiing, rafting, and more at no cost to program participants.

Presented By
The Battleship Bounty 2025 is presented by Trango Climbing & Holds
Our friends at Trango have been designing innovative gear and holds for all disciplines of climbing from right here on the Front Range 1991 and we couldn't be more psyched to have them on board as our title sponsor. Stop by their table to check out their newest gear and chat with their team. They're not alone though. We couldn't throw this big of a party without support from all of our incredible event partners.
