Hotter Than Chicken 2026
Advertisement
Bigger, badder, and bolder than ever.
Hotter Than Chicken returns to Climb Kraft for another year of chaos, strategy, heat, and climbing.
This is not your average bouldering competition.
At HTC, competitors can earn score multipliers by eating Nashville hot chicken, or the vegetarian equivalent, before the climbing begins. The hotter the bite, the bigger the reward.
Then the clock starts.
Competitors will have 3 hours to climb, with all boulders sent counting toward their final score in a modified redpoint format.
Push too hard and the heat catches up.
Play too safe and someone else takes the podium.
HTC is part climbing competition, part endurance test, and part Nashville fever dream.
