REMEMBER The competition is held on some existing boulders, with new climb set weekly in the build up with our regular re-sets, so you can get practicing on your projects in the weeks leading up to the event, and send them on the day!
*Finals will be brand new climbs that no one has seen*
INFO:
Each boulder problem in the gym will be allocated points depending on the difficulty. You’ll have 2 hours to climb your hardest boulders and the top ten boulders you complete will count to your final score.
*Climbs within a colour will be given different points depending on their difficulty. As our colours overlap slightly in grades, boulders will be graded for how difficult they are rather than which colour they are. Get to know your climbs! For example, a hard yellow might be higher points than an easy red.
Fresh off the Blocs category will not have a final, these champions will be decided off boulder bash round scores. The top 5 people in both Cuttin’ Shapes and Bust a Move will enter a final to determine the champion in each category.
CATEGORIES:
Categories will be decided based on ability. You decide on your category but we reserve the right to bump you up a category if you have sandbagged yourself (you’re better than you say!) this is honesty based!!
