The annual indoor bouldering competition happens Saturday. Rock climbers of the city gather each year at OverHang to clamber up the walls for prizes and the thrill of competition.
There are categories for youth (under 16), recreational (16 and over), and open (experienced, but any age).
"The recreational and youth brackets are not overly competitive. There isn't a lot of pressure to win, and there isn't much audience emotion," said OverHang organizer Lauren Phillips. "The open bracket is for the more elite climbers, and there is some pressure and audience motivation there."
There is no charge to watch the events. The youth category has a $15 entry fee for competitors, with $20 entry fee for the other categories.
"We take entries at the door, just come on down and sign up that day," said Phillips.
The youth and recreational climbers do their scrambles from 9-11:30 a.m., then the open competition gets up and away in the early afternoon, the finals going ahead at 5 p.m.
This is the fifth year for the event.
