the social competitions
Top 8 - All day
Every climb in the gym will be given a point value, with more difficult climbs scoring higher. Simply add up your most difficult 8 climbs you completed on the day to get your total. Top 8 can be scored anytime throughout the day until 6pm with the winners announced shortly after.
There will be both open A and B categories. Unsure which category to compete in? Ask our friendly staff on the day.
You can hand your scoring sheet in anytime you have completed your climb, and if you win but are not around when it is announced, don’t worry we will contact you!
Progressive knockout - 12pm
For this competition there will be 6 progressively difficult boulders with everyone starting out at the beginning and progressing to the next boulder if you manage to flash that rounds boulder.
PRIZES! For each successful top there will be a lucky dip next to the finish hold to pick a tag out of with 1 in 10 tags winning a prize! Prizes range from memberships, coffee cards, passes, Arc’teryx vouchers, shoe vouchers, goodie bags and more. The more boulders you manage to top the more chances you get to win a prize with the overall winner getting a special prize!
