What we’re about
This is a good way to meet new people, exercise, enjoy nature, explore new terrain, see animals and acclimate to elevation gains.
The world's best sport climbers are coming to Salt Lake City in May 2025! Each year the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) hosts a World Cup where athletes compete in various indoor-style rock climbing challenges. This year, Salt Lake City will host one of the bouldering competitions in May 2025.
Bouldering is considered by some to be one of the purest forms of climbing, where no harness, rope, or other equipment is used. It's just you and your skill versus the wall.
Ticket are available from USA Climbing through EventBrite. Remember: You must purchase your own tickets to attend! Each day requires a separate ticket.
Update: The event schedule has been posted! Here is a summary:
Friday, May 23:
- 9:00am Women's Qualification
- 3:30pm Men's Qualification
Saturday, May 24:
- 10:00am Women's Semi-Final
- 5:00pm Women's Final
Sunday, May 25:
- 10:00am Men's Semi-Final
- 5:00pm Men's Boulder Final
Doors open one hour prior to each event. Plan on being in line at the ticket booth when the doors open. Last year this was a sold-out event and the grandstands filled up quickly. We'll try to stick together as best we can and sit together if possible.
There's a few hours between events. We may decide to fill that time with nearby activities. Two climbing gyms are close by: The Bouldering Project and The Front. There are also several restaurants and breweries within walking distance.

See all- Capitol Hill to Memory Grove City Walking LoopUtah State Capital, Salt Lake City, UT
Now that we have extra daylight and the temps are on the upswing, we are starting a new weekly series that combines a little bit of nature and a little bit of city scape. Most Tuesday evenings, we will be hosting a Capitol Hill to Memory Grove walk. The route is about three miles. We will start on the southeast side of the Capitol. Meet at the trailhead kiosk that overlooks Memory Grove. This will be a social outing and a great opportunity to meet new people. The best part is that there are no cars along this route. You may walk as slow or as fast as you want. Dogs and strollers are welcome. Bikers may join at the beginning and leave us in the dust. :)
Depending on group preference this week, and as the spring/summer goes on, we will extend the track a little up City Creek Canyon or into the Capitol or Avenues areas. We may even add more socializing and food afterwards. But, for now, here is a partial link to the route:

We look forward to seeing you on the southeast side of the Capitol on Tuesday evenings!

You must have a UIAA certified harness, carabiner, ATC or other belay device. (Or you can rent them there.) Chalk optional. If you are leading, you should bring a dynamic rope that is in good condition for a potential lead fall. I am top rope only certified and don’t have a rope at this time.
Cost to join us is free, but Momentum is a gym and you do have to pay to get in. Refer to their website for prices. Message me if you have any questions, concerns, or if you need a buddy pass.
