Description

Volunteeringlimbing 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 boulders may be reduced to get all athletes through. - Don't worry if you've never done it; we will train you! - Space for spectators is limited. The best way to get to see your athlete climb is to volunteer! Sign Up Here General InformationAll abilities welcome, 18 and under. No USA Climbing members are allowed.
