Recap of the Boston Boulder Brawl: Epic Climbing Showdown and Unforgettable Moments

We had an absolute blast at our very first Boston Boulder Brawl (B3). The turn out was fantastic and the energy was high all day long. Our route setters went all out to bring our climbers the best set for the competition. It was phenomenal to see the best boulder climbers in Boston show up and go head to head. We can’t wait for the next one!

We’ve been hard at work editing all the footage to show you our competitors taking down these amazing problems set by Head Route Setter, Mike Dominguez “MIG” and his incredible setting team.

Check out all our pros crushing with a great mix of veteran competitors and the next generation. The ladies make it to Brawl problem number 4 and the men go into super over-time as no one can send problem 5 and the competitors advance to problem 6 to break the tie.

We’re so proud of all of our competitors and hope to see everyone return for the next B3 with some new competitors to raise the stakes!

Movie Review: The Eiger Sanction

IMDB Rating: 6.3/10

Year Released: 1975

IMDB Synopsis: A classical art professor and collector, who doubles as a professional
assassin, is coerced out of retirement to avenge the murder of an old friend.

Rock Spot Synopsis: Of all of the movies in our
list this one has the least amount of climbing. It’s a Clint Eastwood film so
you can expect certain things: Clint Eastwood is the “good guy” and he will
kill a billion other guys to kill the “bad guy.”

Youth Climbers Shine in Epic Competition

We had an absolute blast at our very first Boston Boulder Brawl (B3). The turn out was fantastic and the energy was high all day long. It was phenomenal to see the best boulder climbers in Boston show up and go head to head. We can’t wait for the next one!

This is the very first of our Brawl compilations. We’ve been hard at work editing all the footage to show you our competitors taking down these amazing problems set by Head Route Setter, Mike Dominguez “MIG” and his incredible setting team.

In this video, we see the Youth Boys exceed our expectations and send not just their Brawl problems, but a selection from the Men’s Advanced Brawl in a Super Brawl to determine who would be the last one standing. It’s an absolute nail-biter as the final competitors get knocked out on the same problem and the title goes to the highest round 1 score.

We’re so proud of all of our competitors and hope to see everyone return for the next B3 with some new competitors to raise the stakes!

The Youth Girl’s Brawl is next so be sure to subscribe to our channel to get notified as soon as our content is uploaded.
