Well I must say that the 3rd Annual Butte Bouldering Bash was a success!
A new area with a new guide, lots of new and familiar faces, more competitors than ever before, new models of great shoes to demo, plenty of dogs, a great BBQ, and a huge pile goodness to raffle off; all in the name of fundraising for a great cause, the
Southwest Montana Climbers Coalition

The day started off a bit overcast, but the weather held, and sending temps ensued. It was great to wander about and see so many folks on so many different problems. Many problems were repeated that previously had very few, and sometimes only once ascent. Lots of strong folks eagerly testing there tips against a new set of stones.

Mid-day came soon enough and the first BBQ was in full action. We wrangled people back up to the parking area for a quick break and some food. Soon enough though they were headed back for more.

The afternoon continued with more problems being explored, climbed, and climbed again. A few even strayed from the comp problems to check out some of the other offerings the trailer boulders has to offer.

The day wound down, and folks headed back upto the lot. There they found the 2nd BBQ in full force, kegs tapped, and a smorgasbord of prizes to ogle.
