Description
Our 25th Annual Climbing Competition at GVSU! This competition is as much, if not more about having some good times with friends and the climbing community as anything else. It's a great event for those who are new to competing. Competitors may register for one of 3, 2-hour blocks for open climbing. Our competition follows a redpoint format where problems must be climbed from start to finish without falling. As many attempts as desired can be made on each climb but a point deduction will be factored into your score for each fall. The harder the climb, the more points you get for completing it. At the end of your 2-hour block, scores for the 4 hardest climbs completed will be tallied and the top 3 competitors in each category will climb against each other on a special finals route to crown the champion of that category.
Categories: Recreational (V0-V2), Intermediate (V3-V5), or Advanced (V6+).
Registration: Competitors may register in any block.
Register where it makes the most sense for you. If you're coming from
the other side of the state and the later block just makes sense, do that.
Spectators are welcome to watch the competition at no cost.
