“Battle of the Besties” BoulDering League

June 30-July 21

What’s a bouldering league?

It’s like a bowling league, but bouldering! Each week, teams of up to 4 climbers of any ability level climb on a special set of special boulders and earn points by completing special boulders (from the special set) over 2 hours. After 4 weeks, the team with the highest average, wins!

Never competed? No problem. Bouldering League is designed to be fun and beginner friendly with categories and climbs for everyone. The energy is electric and vibes are encouraging!

Scoring

  • Your top 3 boulders from each week count toward your total score.

  • A multiplier gives you more points for climbing boulders above your category.

  • Points from each week are averaged, so you can still compete if you’re a team of 1, 2, or 3.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Not necessarily! Scoring is set up so that climbers are rewarded for climbing as close to or above their category. That means that if you’re a brand-new climber and try your hardest, you can score higher than a more experienced climber who didn't complete as many boulders in their category.

  • Yes! You can have a team of 1, 2, 3, or 4 climbers. You might even win! Regardless of how many climbers you have on your team, registration is still $200 per team.

  • Yes! You can compete solo or sign up as a Free Agent for $55 and we’ll find a team for you to join.

  • Yes! You can have a different bestie sub in if one of your original team members can’t make it. Just be sure to let us know so we can factor your sub’s climbing category into scoring.

  • Climbing grades can feel different at different gyms and outside. A V3 at one gym may feel much more (or less) challenging at another. Our T-circuits consider the subjective nature of climbing grades.

  • You can climb roughly 1 hour before the start of bouldering league so you can warm up, but not on the competition boulders. No one may climb on the bouldering league climbs until 7pm!

    You can stay and climb after bouldering league until close.

  • If you come in more than 1 hour before the start time, yes.
