FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Do I need a new waiver?
Always! When in doubt, fill one out. All competitors must complete a signed waiver or have a current one on file with Edgeworks in order to participate. Waivers for climbers under the age of 18 require the signature of their parent or legal guardian.
What is a Modified Redpoint format?
A Modified Redpoint format provides select amount of climbing routes in your grade range. Points are gained only if the route is completed. If you can not complete a climb, you try again but most check off the attempt. Climbers are given 1.5 hours to complete as many routes as as possible within your category; with a climber’s top 5 adding up their final score. Falls will be used to determine tie-breakers.

All climbers age 14 or older are welcome to compete! We’re planning to have up to 80 competitors and a variety of comp-style boulders designed to challenge competitors at every skill level.
