Virtual Competition FAQ’s…

Do you need to reserve a spot prior to coming in to compete? No, you do not need to reserve a spot. We have an Occupancy Counter on our website to see how many people are in the gym. Our busier times are typically between 5pm - 7pm, so please plan accordingly.

What are your hours? We are open Monday - Friday from 10am - 9pm; Saturday from Noon - 5pm. We are temporarily closed on Sunday.

How many boulder problems do you have for the event? There are a total of 35 problems.

Do I need to video my boulders? Yes ~ from start to finish and the video must be unedited. Boulders without video submitted will not count.

Can my coach help me during the comp? Not while climbing. Providing beta/coaching is not allowed, per USAC rules, while on the wall.

Will you be providing paper score cards? No. Scores are entered into the Kaya application.

Do parents and/or coaches need to pay to come into the facility? No, although they will need to fill out a waiver.

Do competitors need pay to come into the facility? Yes, they will need to pay the competitor fee of $14.

What about Starts and Finishes?

• 4 point starts (ours are marked with brown tape on the climb's tape color, ie. Yellow taped boulder, small brown pieces at the ends designate the start position).

• Finish holds are marked with one piece of tape that has the additional brown piece of tape on it.

• Top Out Finishes. Many of our boulders are top out finishes. This will be stated in the app and on the start cards of the climbs.

  • The climber must be standing on top of the bouldering wall to complete a Top Out Finish boulder.

Can I project a boulder? Boulders can only be attempted from the start — no projecting sections.

Are Volumes and/or Aretes on?

• Volumes are ALWAYS on for feet. Only on for HANDS if a hold from a climb is on a volume, the volume is taped, or the start card states the volume is on.

• Aretes are always on.
