Had a blast at Dominion Riverrock this weekend! This comp is a unique blend of bouldering and sport climbing in a huge volume filled metal cage, with heights up to 20 feet! The terrain, dynamic routes, and amazing crowd kept me psyched and having fun! @brookeclimbs crushed each round and walked away with the win….. 2nd year in a row! Good luck to all of my friends competing in the speed bouldering comp today!! Thanks Brad Hilbert for capturing my climb on video. @evolvusa @adidasterrex @clifbar @bluewaterropes @peakexperiences
