Competitions

Battle for the Fort 2025 is almost here!

What is Battle for the Fort?

Battle for the Fort is Northern Colorado's premiere bouldering competition, where anyone can win big! The competition is open to competitors of all levels, from beginners to elite/pro level athletes. Come show off your skills, compete for a sweet pool of prizes, and hang out with the best climbing community in town!

We will be closed after 2 PM on November 7th and all day on November 8th for normal operations, but anyone can come spectate the event on either day. Advance spectator tickets for non-members are $5 and are FREE for Ascent members so be sure to get yours in advance! Friday the gym will be open from 5-8 PM for spectating the open qualifiers round, a vendor village with our premium sponsors, and also will get you extra raffle tickets for the main event on Saturday. Saturday we will have food trucks, a vendor village, beer, drawing giveaways, a live DJ, and the chance to watch your friends and favorite elite climbers compete! All beer ticket sales and drawing ticket sales are being donated to the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to support our local climbing community. Day-of spectator tickets are $10 for everyone.
