Skill Categories:

Whether you love climbing or barely climb at all, this competition is a fun way to gather the community and have some friendly competition. There are skill categories for all levels; refer to this chart to see where you fit in:

Recreational (Rec)

Intermediate (Int)

Format & Scoring:

Each route has an allotted point value; the harder the route, the more points you receive. The more attempts you make on a route, the less points you will receive. But keep in mind, each route has a base limit of point value, so no matter how many attempts you make on a route, you will only have point reductions down to the base value. You also can only score each route once, so once you complete the route, move onto the next one. See the score sheet of the point allocation down below for more details.

The Ruckus One-Day Bouldering Event in April will be scored upon your top 4 boulder problems of the night. The boulder problems available for climbing during this competition will be 25+ brand new routes set specifically for this competition. The routes will be numbered 1 through 25, which will be seen on the scoresheet upon arrival. There will also be an awesome bonus challenge to get you a few extra points for this one-day event.
