FLOAT THE BOAT 2026

Postponed to Sunday, February 22nd

The Boat Rock Bouldering Competition is one of the oldest climbing events in the United States. From its inception in the early 80’s with legends like Robyn Erbesfield and Ron Kauk, the granite grappling has morphed into Float The Boat. While the stoke for the stone hasn’t changed, the purpose of the event has evolved into a focus on fundraising to help protect this beloved climbing area for present and future generations.
