This Saturday Climbmax is hosting an ABS comp!
On a side note… how do people stay updated with what comps are coming up? I would say about half the time I hear about them via word of mouth. The other half is posters at the local gyms. Even then, I seem to miss a comp every now and then.
The local gym websites do a pretty shitty job of keeping people updated. Most of them don’t have a mailing list, or post new news in a blog like format (with a sexy rss feed). So unless I just happen to visit their site for shits and giggles I never hear about comps from their website.
Sometime people post local comps on various forums, but it’s pretty hit or miss. I think some of the bigger comps have mailing lists, but that never covers small local comps. I wish there was a single mailing list, rss feed, google group or something that I could use to stay informed about comps in my area.

My guess is that the kids who are involved with ABS all year long hear about this months in advance. From a business and community perspective, I agree with your sentiments for having more publicity.
Then again, do the comp organizers only intend for it to be “their” climbing team kids and other traveling teams and therefore can’t handle the additional number of public particpants?
Maybe that’s our new combined blog scheme-wemey. One consolidated source for gym comps around the country….
Having one site with all the comps coming up around the country would be hot!
