COMMUNITY COMP

Cap City Sends is designed for all climbers, from first-timers to crushers. Boulders span every grade range, so no matter your skill level, you’ll find climbs to test your strength, head game, and strategy.

• Beginner: V0 - v3
• Intermediate: V3 - V5
• Advanced: V5 - V7
• Open: V7 +

 

Qualification Style: Modified Redpoint

• All competitors can attempt the boulders multiple times and watch other competitors climb.

Finals: Onsight

• ISO Format:
• All competitors get to preview the boulders and then return to isolation.
• You don't watch anyone else climb the boulders, meaning you "Onsight" the boulders when you climb.

 

 

PRIZES

Top 3 finalists in each category will take home prizes from brands like La Sportiva, Scarpa, Edelrid, and more.

 

ALL-DAY PARTY!

This isn’t just a comp, it’s a community celebration. After climbing sessions, hang out with live music, vendor village, local food, giveaways, and an epic raffle.

 

FINALS SHOWDOWN

The top 5 climbers in each category (per gender) advance to finals. Finals will be electric! DJ, lights, big crowd energy, and climbing. This is where the comp comes alive, and you don’t want to miss it.
