Boulderers are invited to the Sourland Mountain Preserve in Hillsborough, New Jersey on Saturday, April 8, 2017 for New Jersey’s only organized outdoor bouldering (rock climbing) competition. Registration is now open.
The event is scheduled to begin at 9:00 A.M. Participants and spectators should meet in the Sourland Mountain Preserve parking lot off East Mountain Road in Hillsborough, New Jersey.
Bouldering is a style of rock climbing undertaken without a rope and normally limited to very short climbs so that a fall will not result in injury. It is typically practiced on large boulders or artificial man-made boulders, however it can also be practiced at the base of larger rock faces.
