Bouldering League Details

April 29th - May 27th | Finals & Party Tuesday, June 3rd

We have some awesome new additions to this spring's bouldering league!

  • Expanded league zones! League zones will be larger than our typical new set zones to help space out boulders to get more folks on the wall at the same time. Check out the weekly league sets:
    • Week 1: slab-prow
    • Week 2: ramp-scoop-barrel
    • Week 3: 35-45-55
    • Week 4: slab-prow
    • Week 5: ramp-scoop-barrel
    • Finals: 35-45
  • Single league session! Our dedicated night for league will be every Tuesday from 5:30 - 10 PM. If we exceed 60 participants, we'll open up a Wednesday night league session. We hope the single night helps you get to know your teammates better.
  • Exclusive league-only hours! Every Tuesday from 5:30 - 7:30 PM the new set will be open for league participants only. That means you get to hop on the new set before anyone else. 
  • Weekly team challenges! Starting in week 2, we'll have weekly team challenges that you can complete to get your team bonus points. These will be challenges achievable by everyone, regardless of climbing ability level.

Each week our setters will set new league boulders. There will be 25 new problems each week. Log all your sent climbs using a redpoint format. Be sure to log your attempts and get a witness to initial your scorecard next to each sent climb. There will be space allotted on your scorecard for each of these specifications. See the Vocab & FAQ section for clarifications.

Climb Logging Requirements:
League climbs must all be logged during your single league session on Tuesdays. 

Pick up your scorecard at the front desk each session, and drop it back off at the front desk when you are done with your session.

*Can't make the Tuesday session but want to participate? You can still sign up! Please contact us to let us know when you will be climbing so we know if we will have to wait on your scores. We request that you climb either Wednesday or Thursday so we can release weekly scores by Friday each week.

Schedule:

Week 1 | April 29th:  Ranking Week

This is the initial ranking week. Just like a normal redpoint competition, you'll have the whole evening to climb the league boulders. Your score will be the sum of the top 5 boulders you complete. Afterward, we'll use the data from everyone's scores to create teams that are evenly balanced in terms of ability. Each team will have a climber in each of the four categories: Green (Beginner), Purple (Intermediate), Red (Advanced), and Black (Open).

Weeks 2 through 5 | May 6th, 13th, 20th, & 27th

Each week, climb on the new league boulders to boost your individual score. Use your teammates for beta, encouragement, or heckling (whatever best motivates you to send!). Everyone has until closing to climb, and your score will be the sum of the top 5 boulders you complete. Your team score will be the sum of all the teams individuals scores combined, plus the weekly bonus challenge points.

Finals | Tuesday, June 3rd

The rules meeting will start at 6:30 pm. We run finals format similar to what you might see at a professional competition. You have 4 minutes to send the boulder in your category. You and all your teammates are on the wall at the same time, each of you working to top your own boulder with the crowd at your back cheering you on! Afterwards, you get pizza, fizzy drinks, and beer (21+) while we count up scores and hold the awards ceremony!

FAQ

1What if I can't make the 6-10 PM time slots on Tuesdays?
If you have a scheduling conflict that prevents you from climbing Tuesday, let us know so we know when to look for your scorecard. We want you to be part of league, so please participate even if you can't always make Tuesday time slots. We try to get each week's scores calculated by Friday afternoon, so we ask that you get your climbs in BEFORE Friday afternoon.
2When will I get my league tank top/shirt?
We will give out tank tops on finals night, June 3rd!
3What do you mean "send" a climb?
A "send" is climbing a route or boulder without falling.
4What is Redpoint Format?
Boulders only count if you climb from start hold (either matching or if specified, a dual start) to controlling the finish hold (finish holds must be matched and controlled, meaning staying on the hold for at least 3 seconds) or topping out if there is no designated finish.
5What counts as an attempt?
Falling while trying to finish the entire problem or working out sections of the problem before putting it together in one sequence.
6Who is a witness?
Someone that actually watched you climb the ENTIRE problem from start to controlled finish.

Scoring:

Each week there will be 254 new boulders numbered 1-25. Please write the corresponding number on your score sheet followed by the points the problem is worth. Multiply the problem # by 100 to get the point value. Ex. Problem 5 = 500; Problem 11=1100; Problem 25=2500

Have 1 person initial your sheet that witness your sending the boulder.

Your individual weekly score will be the sum of your top 5 climbs and your overall score will be the sum of all weeks.

1 drop week will be given to everyone. Your drop week is either your lowest score (just a high gravity day!) or a missed week between weeks 2-5. Your Week 1 score will NOT be dropped!
