Roman Yanushev is teaming up with Stefan Falke to host a King Kong venue in Germany!

The contest has really been picking up steam lately - we’re currently up to 34 venues across 10 countries. There’s still for others to come on board. Don’t miss what is likely to be the biggest grip contest ever!

The majority of our group have full family and work schedules, therefore commuting out to Carbondale is not possible.  Let's try to get a big Colorado event together in 2025 to include folks from all over.  We debated this for a few weeks but couldn't make it work this year.

The post made it sound like Carbondale was only for a specific region.  That's what I was clarifying.
