American Bouldering Series

The American Bouldering Series (ABS) is a competitive climbing organization that hosts events focused on bouldering, a style of rock climbing without ropes on short, challenging walls. The series provides a platform for climbers to showcase their skills through timed, problem-solving routes called "problems." It promotes sport climbing development, safety, and community engagement across the United States. Competitors of all levels can participate, earning rankings and recognition. The ABS helps foster growth in the sport, encouraging climbers to improve their technique and strength while connecting with others who share their passion for climbing.
