BBM XVII: First impressions and thanks

The 17th edition of the Berlin Bouldering Championship (BBM) on May 24th, 2025, exceeded all our expectations:
Even more visitors than in previous years, an atmosphere like an open-air festival, and a finals event that gave everyone goosebumps.

The finals from 8 to 10 PM were the absolute highlight: In front of a thrilled audience, the finalists gave it their all – accompanied by music, cheers, and an incredible vibe. Throughout the day, the festival feeling was in full swing – thanks to the great weather and our passionate organizing team.

A very special thanks goes out to all the volunteers, the Kegel team, and all the supporters who made this event possible. As Erik, one of the Kegel managers, put it so well:

“A big thank you for your energy, your dedication, and your amazing efforts over the past few days. You played a key role in making this BBM one of the best, most fun, and most atmospheric ever. We’re so grateful to have all of you here at Kegel.”

And there’s more to come:
