Bouldering Competition Details
Bring a full tank and get ready to stomp on the gas! The bouldering comp is an enduro format. It’s simple: you’ve got 3 hours to do as many problems as you can. There are 100+ problems and 26 boulders. Problems will be labeled on every boulder. Competitors must fill out their scorecards as they go, and get two witnesses to sign off on their ascent immediatley upon completion. No repeats of problems; problems only count once, then you move on to the next one. Start and finish of the comp will be at the morning Welcome and Kickoff staging area. If you’re doing the competition, you must be at this starting area for kick-off. An event organizer will signal the start and finish of the competition by blasting the air horn. The competition will go for 3 hours, starting at approximately 9:30 am. Competitors must turn in their completed scorecard (with signatures!) at the same event staging area spot within 15 mins of the airhorn signalling the end of the comp, or they won’t be scored. Winners will be recognized as follows: top 3 men, women; and kids (17 years old and younger), for boys and girls.
