FAQs

Our circuits range from V0-V8+, and the color order is yellow, red, green, purple, orange, black, blue, pink, white.

Choose the category that includes the color circuits that match your comfort and growth zones.

When trying your absolute hardest, if you are able to top 10 boulders in the highest color in that category within one climbing session, then you should compete at the next level up.

Some examples to help you decide:

  • “I generally climb purples/oranges/blacks. I can flash most oranges.” We recommend the Intermediate Category.
  • When trying your hardest, are you able to complete 10 black boulders in one climbing session? We recommend the Advanced Category.
  • When trying your hardest, are black boulders overall still challenging, meaning you can’t send 10 black boulders in one climbing session? We recommend the Intermediate Category.
  • Open competitors should be climbing predominantly blues, pinks, and whites. If you are able to climb white boulders, you more than likely should register for the Open category.

At Open Qualifiers on Friday, October 25, competitors will have 24 boulders. Boulders are assigned point values in order of difficulty. 24 boulders with max 8 attempts/boulder. Top 10 boulders scored to determine who advances to Finals. The top Finalists  from each division will then compete in Open Finals on Saturday, October 26 for the chance to win cash prizes!

Community competitors will win one raffle ticket for each boulder topped. 24 boulders with unlimited attempts. Chance to win up to 24 raffle tickets to give you the opportunity to win prizes from Yeti, Arc’teryx, Organic, Friction Labs, and more.

Youth & Family competitors will compete to see who can secure the most tops in the fewest attempts. Unlimited attempts.
