Competition Scoring
Each category competes on routes specifically designed for that skill level. New routes are mapped out and created to provide all categories a fun and exciting challenge.
- Hold reached in a controlled manner 1 point
- If a climber finishes a route with no falls on their first try, known as a Flash, then they will receive 2 additional points
- Each climber may attempt a route three times. While climbing the route, if the climber falls s/he will be required to start the route over from the bottom. After the third attempt the climber is finished competing on that route. The points earned will be totalled based on the highest attained hold. It is the climber's responsibility to remember the highest hold they attained.
