 As the club has grown, local and regional bouldering competitions have been a big part of our activities.  The club now has an impressive number of top finishes at American Bouldering Series (ABS) competitions, with more than a few Champion titles in both the Men's and Women's categories.  Regular competitions include Midnight Burn (Philly Rock Gym), Cliffs at Valhalla competitions, and those at our home gym, Manhattan Plaza Health Club.  Lately our women have been especially strong, medaling in all three amateur categories.
-As competitive bouldering has multiple divisions, people of all abilities are welcome and encouraged to compete.  The atmosphere of a climbing competition is incredibly supportive, and a ton of fun.  See Nic for more.
