Congrats to Pusher, winner of the CBJ Grip Showcase Salt Lake City!
It was another exhilarating climbing extravaganza! The teams from The Front, Vertical Solutions and Proxy put on a great event this summer, leaving the climbers no doubt looking forward to the next one. There were top-notch holds, superb routesetting (provided by Setter Summit attendees), and an atmosphere buzzing with excitement and camaraderie.
And, of course, we must congratulate Pusher for winning the Salt Lake City CBJ Grip Showcase Award! Their Opus Macros are true crowd-pleasers.
