The Tri-State Bouldering Series Championship brings out some of the best pro climbers in the country! This year was no different with names like Kai Lightner, Alanna Yip, Nathaniel Coleman, and Paul Robinson just to name a few! We got to see a lot of familiar faces, and local strong up & coming climbers alike who were at previous series stops of Send Train, Rock-It-Power, and The Brawl! We had Nick Hernandez on site to take the pics & catch all the action for Time to Climb. We also coordinated with the TBS crew and the other photographers onsite to bring you their perspective and the replay from finals!

Here are the shots Nick Hernandez took at the Tri-State Bouldering Series Championship Competition:

The Tri-State Bouldering Series has now completed its 3rd year. Each year has been bigger and better! With over 1,000+ competitors and 10’s of thousands of spectators & attendees, the 5-stop bouldering series has etched itself a definitive corner into the climbing community here in the Northeast! We were excited to be a part of it and can not wait to see what next year holds for this no longer fledgling but in fact one of the leading comp series in the United States!
