What is the Burn Series?
The Burn Series is more than a competition—it’s a journey that has brought climbers together for nearly 30 years. First introduced as the Midnight Burn by Philadelphia Rock Gyms (PRG), it has evolved into a beloved bouldering series with a focus on community, personal growth, and the thrill of pushing your limits. The Burn Series, as we know it, has been running for 15 years across multiple PRG gyms, and now, it’s coming to Inner Peaks for the first time ever!
What sets the Burn Series apart and Why You Should Join:
#1 Reason—Track Your Progress:
This series isn’t just about competition; it’s about improving your climbing and staying motivated year after year. As you participate, you’ll receive points based on the difficulty of the routes (grades). These points will allow you to track your progress over time—giving you a tangible way to measure improvement, set new goals, and see how far you’ve come. It’s a tool that turns your climbing journey into a personal challenge, keeping you stoked for the next problem or competition. This series is all about competing against yourself to see how many points you can earn year after year of training and competing.
Stay Motivated:
Climbing is all about setting goals and working toward them. The Burn Series gives you a reason to stay excited and focused. Whether it’s climbing a more difficult route or earning more points than last year, this system fuels your passion and pushes you forward.
