VolunteeringYou may not know this but all climbing comps are primarily run by volunteers. As such, we need YOU to volunteer! Here are some things to consider: - The comp can't happen without volunteers. In fact, if there are not sufficient volunteers then the comp end time could be extended and/or the number of routes may be reduced to get all athletes through. - We will try to accommodate when your kids climb to the extent possible. Just indicate your athlete's category and climb time. - Don't worry if you've never done it, we will train you! - You’ll learn what a “dyno” and “gaston” mean and have some climbing lingo at the ready! Sign Up Here Competition Format For this championship event, the rules are a little different so please take a look before the competition round begins! We will have a qualifying portion, and a finals portion of the competition. Rope finals will include the top 6 scorers from the morning's qualifying round. Qualifiers - Top rope will be in modified redpoint format and competitors will have 5 routes per category. Each route will have 4 zones and a top. Each checkpoint is worth 5 points!
