HOLY BOULDERS COMPETITION — The Holy Boulders Competition took place Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024, in the heart of the Shawnee National Forest. The Holy Boulders is a world-class bouldering destination, known for its perfectly textured sandstone and offering a variety of problems across different levels of difficulty. Competitors were able to camp on the property from Friday to Saturday. After a day of climbing, participants enjoyed dinner and an after-party featuring the Swamp Tigers.
