The Touchstone Climbing Series has been an institution for our members and guests for over 10 years. What began as simple climbing competitions thrown at a few local gyms has grown into the largest climbing competition in the world! Our comps bring over 2,500 individual competitors to our gyms each year.
TCS 2016 Schedule
And without further adieu, the 2016 Touchstone Climbing Series Schedule!!
Since our community continues to grow, we will be breaking the series into three segments. This means more climbing for everyone and a whole lot of fun!
Each segment is a perfect excuse to either rep your home gym, party with your homies, or get the gang together for a road trip. Each competition will boast that Touchstone energy and psych you’ve come to expect. Beer, pizza, comp shirts and raffle prizes are coming your way!
Our comps are FREE to members and $20 for guests.
