HOW TO SELECT YOUR CATEGORY:
Community Comp Sessions:

• Recreational: Yellow, Red, Green circuits
• Intermediate: Purple, Orange, Black circuits
• Advanced: Black, Blue, Pink Circuits

Competitors self-select into their respective categories during the registration process. The idea is to challenge yourself!

When trying your absolute hardest, if you are able to top 10 boulders in the highest color available in that category in one climbing session, you should compete at the next level up.

See the example below:
Example: “I generally climb purples/oranges/blacks. I can flash most oranges.”

When trying your hardest, are you able to complete 10 black boulders in one climbing session?
We recommend the Advanced Category.

When trying your hardest, is the Black category overall still challenging, meaning you can’t send 10 black boulders in one climbing session?
We recommend the Intermediate Category.

OPEN QUALIFIER FORMAT:

• categories: Women & Men
• Each division must have a minimum of 8 participants.
• 30 Blue, Pink, and White circuit boulders will be assigned point values in order of difficulty
• 8 attempts allowed per boulder
• Top 10 boulders will be scored
• Open Qualifier boulders will be scored by volunteer judges.
• Top 6 from each category will go in to Saturday's Open Finals, 7:00pm
