Oakland Comp Last Friday, over 260 people competed in the recent Touchstone Bouldering comp in Oakland. The free pizza and beer brought in mor than 40 spectators as well, who clamored into the gym to watch the boulderers crank on 58 new problems and win awesome raffle prizes from Evolv, Mtn Hardwear, 5.10, and La Sportiva.

In a moment of pure strength, Mike Abell managed to flash a V10! Gregor Peirce fought hard and won the men's advanced.
