Death Moth

January 31 | 5–11pm | The Spot Denver

Death Moth is a bouldering competition for and by Women, Trans, Nonbinary, Intersex, and Gender Non-conforming climbers!

Death Moth isn’t just a competition, it’s a step toward deepening The Spot’s commitment to empowering and supporting the Front Range’s diverse climbing communities. As The Spot’s first event of this kind, we’re here to learn and grow with you. Our goal is to foster an inviting and safe space where women, trans, nonbinary, intersex, and gender-nonconforming climbers can engage in friendly competition. We are committed to understanding and meeting your needs better each year.

All competitors must be 18 years or older. All competitor names will be public upon announcement of competition scores. Any adult can spectate Death Moth, but competitor tickets are reserved for self-identified women, trans, nonbinary, intersex & gender-nonconforming climbers.

Prices go up January 26—Don’t wait to save your spot!
