How is the climbing there? I have never been, but have heard mixed feedback. Sounds like a great comp though! I will probably go to support the place.

the climbing is textured granite and you should show up with your "A" game of footwork. Some people dont like it cause they get their butts kicked. You actually have to rock climb.
The bottom line is that this is a benefit to help save a cool climbing area. This could easily be any bouldering area in the U.S. and we need to show our support to save this area. They are currently blasting boulders in the lake area.
We have tons of sponsors and two beer sponsors... need I say more.

There is a party on Friday nite at the Concourse Athletic Club. More info will be posted on www.seclimbers.org this week. The comp will be bigger and better this year with more sponsors, more cash and 2 beer sponsors. see you there.
