    Approximately 60 Boulder problems, numbered in order of difficulty and point value

    Climbers may try any boulder problem they want, as many times as they want 

    Competitors have 3 hours to finish the 5 hardest boulders they can climb

    • Only the top 5 boulders will be counted toward the competitor’s score total

    In order for a top to count, climbers must have 2 witness initials on the scorecard

    Climbers must attempt the problem from the ‘start’ for each attempt, they cannot work moves in isolation

    • Please be courteous to those around you! If you fall, please allow someone else to attempt the boulder before trying again

    A climb is finished when competitors show control with two hands on the marked finished hold(s)

    Climbs set on the top out boulder are considered finished once the competitor ‘tops out’ the boulder

    Every attempt (4 points of contact off the ground)  is counted on the scorecard:

    • If a climber flashes the problem, it counts as 1 attempt

    • False starts (ie. flying start)  also count as an attempt

    • Attempts will be used in the event of a tie

    Ranking is determined by the highest score

    • We reserve the right to bump competitors out of their categories based on their scores

  • We reserve the right to bump any competitor into a higher category based on performance.

    If your final score is higher than the average score of the category above you, you will be bumped.

  • Do I have to pay to watch Finals?
    Everyone is welcome to attend! Come support the climbers and party with us for free. You do not need to be a member!

    How do I know if I made it to finals or won my category?
    We will email all winners of their category shortly after the sessions are over to notify them if they made finals or should come back to celebrate and receive their prize!

    What are the prizes for each category?
    TBD! We will have prizes from Arc’teryx, Metolius, and plenty more but what each specific category and place get is still being determined. Prizes will not be publicly known before the awards ceremony.

    When will the gym be closed?
    The gym will be closed to everyone from Oct 8-10 for a full gym reset and to prepare for the beast that is Boulderham.
