Each climb will have 5 zones. Each zone that you reach will have higher point values.
There is a flash bonus of 100 points. Each fall will result in a 1 point deduction.
The top 5 senders from each category will be heading to citizens finals on Friday, April 17th!

This comp is BYOB – bring your own belayer! It’s best to partner up with another participant beforehand and trade off between climbing and belaying.
You don’t need to climb to belay, and we’ll let you belay for no cost. Get your belay certification here if you don’t have it already!
