The Battleship Bounty
April 4, 2026
our biggest, loudest, most electric day of the year.
A full-gym showdown. A celebration of movement.
A reason to show up early, stay late, and leave wrecked (in a good way)
Expect world-class boulders, wall-to-wall stoke, and a finals party that goes hard once the lights turn down.

Spectator Tickets
Come for the climbing. Stay for the chaos.
Spectator tickets get you into the finals for a full-scale show: beers flowing from The Bivy, food tucks eats, vendors on deck, raffle prizes from our partners, and a live DJ backed by over-the-top lights and sound.
Is this for me if I'm not an 'elite' climber?
This is especially for you if you're not an elite climber. The citizens comp is the heart of this event. Everyone from first-timers to gym regulars will have problems worth projecting and a podium worth standing on.
What kind of boulders should I expect?
We'll have a full gym of boulders of all types, difficulties, and styles.
Like boulders that flow? We got you. Crimpy climbing is your thing? C'mon. Been working on coordination and dynos? Prove it. Do you like to solve puzzles? Bring it on.
Each boulder will be numbered. The higher the number, the harder the boulder.
How does the scoring work?
The citizens comp is scored on the honor system. You'll get a paper score card for the day with every boulder listed.
You'll be responsible for tracking each attempt with a tally mark and marking each successful send with initials from a witness that saw you send.
When you're done climbing, turn in your score card. The 5 hardest boulders you climb will make up your score for the day. The top 3 climbers in each category will win podium prizes.
When are awards given out?
We'll do the awards ceremony for the citizen comp at 5:30. We'll keep the gym rockin' with vendors, games, a food truck, beers flowing from The Bivy, and a whole bunch of other fun shenanigans.
What happens if I can't stay for the awards?
You can absolutely bounce early, but that means missing the DJ set, the games, the vendors, the food truck, free beers (21+),possibly standing on the podium before Open Finals under the lights. Your call.
2026 Non-Profit Partner
Adaptive Adventures
We're partnering with our good friends at Adaptive Adventures again this year as our non-profit partner. We're donating 100% of the raffle proceeds to help them continue to achieve their goals.
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.
