Glow Boulder in English; Dark mornings, days and evenings are a part of Finnish everyday life during the fall and winter. To help with managing the gloom and darkness we will light your evening with UV-lights. We’ve organized Hohtoboulder from around year 2018 and it’s become somewhat known event amongst climbers in Oulu. The main event is the tape competition, where every participant makes a route to the competition with tape. You can also just come climb freely, cheer for your friends and hang around. To make sure you get everything out of the UV-lights, we have UV-face paints and glowsticks available. Also remember to wear clothes that glow! Local music maestros will make sure you have a groovy time during the event!
What is tape competition?: The idea with tape competition is that each competitor makes a route with the existing holds and shapes on the wall. The route is made by marking the holds and shapes climbers can use with tape. For the route to be accepted, you must first climb it yourself! This will also ensure that everyone can climb at least one route during the competition! When everyone has their route ready you will try to climb as many routes made by others as you can. Winner is the person who manages to climb the most routes. You can decide how difficult and what style of route you make. Do you want to challenge others with a complex brain teaser or will you try to make to smoothest route possible that everyone enjoys?
We will update more info on the event closer to the date. If you have questions, just send an email to our info or ask our staff.
