It’s back, y’all. After two years, the biggest bouldering series in the Southeast returns to High Point Climbing and Fitness.

The Southern Grit Bouldering Series is a multi-stop competition, which invites climbers of all ages and ability levels to compete at various High Point locations throughout the region. The series began in mid-October with round one in Memphis.

Round two takes place Nov. 5 in Huntsville, Alabama, and round three is on Dec. 10 at the downtown Chattanooga climbing gym. The last round and the finals are scheduled for Jan. 7 in Birmingham, Alabama.

Each competition features a high-gravity, hard day for climbers, with a variety of angles and holds for viewers, plus festivities for all involved, including onsite local brews, music, food trucks and a raffle with a haul of climbing prizes from various sponsors — Patagonia, Southeastern Climbers Coalition and La Sportiva, to name a few.
