The second annual Bear Valley Bouldering Comp in Hell's Kitchen is taking place this coming saturday the 25th from 4pm-7pm. This year there will be open and beginner categories for both the men and women's divisions. For both open categories there will also be a cash prize of $200 for first, $100 for second, and $50 for third. At the end of the comp last year there was a raffle with loads of sick prizes, so I'm assuming they will be doing the same this year and let me say that I will definately be buying many tickets because the prizes last year ranged from probably 10 ropes, tons of jackets, sleeping bags, climbing gear, and the list goes on. MAS does a wonderful job of getting high quality sponsors for the event. Some of the CVBC is going, so feel free to meet us out there and have a great day of bouldering.

Here's a video of Daniel doing an FA at the Hell's Kitchen area. He named the problem G-Ma, in dedication to his Grandmother, who we later found out had passed away the day of the send. Also, if you pay close attention to the beginning of the video, you can see that G-Ma is next to the sick long-standing project at Hell's Kitchen. At possibly the V10 range or higher this problem is still waiting a send...maybe it will go down saturday...
