Format:

• Bouldering: redpoint format. Participants will receive points for their 5 most difficult climbs over the 3 hours. Tiebreakers will be determined by fewest number of attempts.
• Ropes: modified-redpoint format. Each roped climb will have 5 zones. Once participants demonstrate control on the first hold in the zone, they receive points for that zone. Lead climbing earns 100 extra points per zone. The higher the climbers climb, the more points they receive. Participants will get 3 attempts at roped climbs and can choose any of the routes. There is a 5-minute time limit for each climb. Tiebreakers will based on time taken to arrive at high point. PRO TIP: Theoretically, we have enough time for everyone to do their 3 roped climbs; HOWEVER, because roped climbs can be done at any point, climbs could get backed up; arriving with plenty of time to warm up and get on roped climbs early in the comp and/or keeping a close eye on the routes' queues will increase participants' chances of being able utilize all 3 of their roped-climb attempts.
• For both bouldering and roped climbing, climbers will be arranged from highest score to lowest score and receive finishing-place points for each style of climbing (1st place = 1 point, 2nd place = points, etc.). Overall standings will be determined by combining climbers' finishing-place points for bouldering and roped climbing: the lower the total number, the better the finish. If participants' overall scores are tied, there will be two tiebreakers: 1st tiebreaker) highest number of Boulder + Ropes Points 2nd tiebreaker) highest finish in one of the disciplines. From the overall standings, 4 divisions will be created using a histogram. Prizes will be awarded for 1st-3rd place in each division.
