WHAT'S HAPPENING:
1️⃣ COMMUNITY COMP 🧗
Boulderfest is an all-levels climbing competition. Whether you’ve been climbing for years or it’s your first ever comp, you’ll find something fun and challenging for you to climb! The routes are the absolute best of what Bouldering Project's setting team has to offer. It’s an incredible experience to climb and to watch others climb!
Competitors will choose their gender category at signup: Non-Binary, Women, Men
Competitors will choose their difficulty category on the day of the comp:
BP's system for categorizing the difficulty of climbs is based on our color circuits. For the competition, each color circuit will contain eight boulders. Choose your difficulty category based on which color circuit you’re able to ‘blackout’ (complete all climbs of that color). The objective is to ‘blackout’ or complete the highest circuit you can.
2️⃣ PRIZES 🎁
Everyone who competes has a chance to win awesome prizes! At the end of Community Round 2 (before Open Finals) we will host a prize giveaway with $10,000+ in incredible prizes from our sponsors and local brands!
- You get a Circuit Pin matching the hardest color circuit you were able to finish (Yellow circuit pin if you finish all yellows, etc.)
- Optional: We have a live screen printer where you can get your ‘stripe of honor’ screened on your Boulderfest T-Shirt. (Yellow stripe for finishing yellow circuit, etc.)
*note: for the above rewards, you only get one of each, you can’t get 2+ pins/stripes
Prize giveaway Info:
- 1 entry per boulder sent in your blackout circuit, as well as the circuit color above and below your blackout
- Additionally, you can earn up to 1 entry for each sponsor/vendor/carnival game you participate in (Maximum of 10)
