Climbers will have 5 attempts at each climb. If they fall, they must come down, each attempt starts from the ground. Climbers will have 2 hours to climb the routes in their category and should arrive at check-in time to allow for warming up. Speed climbing will be going on throughout the duration of the modified redpoint and will be done on a non-IFSC route. Climbers have 6 attempts at speed climbing and their best time will be recorded. Onsight Finals The top 6 competitors in each category from the morning sessions will be announced as finalists and will move into a finals round in Onsight format, with 1 route per category. Climbers will be scored by judges at each route and will have 6 minutes to get to the top of the route. - Finalists will receive more information on the scoring the day of. - Athletes and their families that do not make finals are invited to come back after their session and cheer on their fellow climbers! -There will not be a speed final, the winners will be crowned from their times in the morning sessions.
