FAQ’s
Q: Last year there were Redpoint Comps and Finals that were part of the Summer Series, are they happening this year? A: We are not having Redpoints/Finals directly tied to the Summer Series this year…but don’t worry, we will be holding a standalone Redpoint Comp and Finals not long after the Summer Series concludes! We’ll keep you posted!
Q: How do I sign up to enter? A: No need to sign up for anything, just show up and climb and tell the front desk your hardest two sends each week.
Q: Is there an age limit for the series? A: Our gym is primarily a 13 years and up facility, so we will try to keep this Series true to that same standard. With that said, if you are younger than 13 and are familiar with navigating bouldering gyms we will make exceptions on a case by case basis; email us to inquire. Thanks for your understanding!
Q: Will there be difficulty categories and how do I know which to enter? A: The main purpose of this series is to have a ‘Free’ and Fun community event to help maintain psyche through the summer. The gameplan for this series is to have standard difficulty categories, which WE will place you in based on the difficulties of the climbs you are sending, as fairly as we can.
Q: How will points be awarded? A: Sending Boulder Problems! We will have point values assigned to each boulder problem based on its difficulty level. Simply notify us at the desk each week, as to what two sends you want to lock in. At the end of the Series we’ll tally all the points up and announce the rankings. Ultimately, this is all on the honor system…so play nice.
Q: Can I acquire/change points from a previous weeks set if I send something harder? A: No, you will only have a one week window to get points for that weeks set (Monday through Sunday). For instance, once the Week 2 set goes up, you can no longer acquire/change points from Week 1’s set. So be sure to not miss a week!
Q: Can I repeat a boulder and use the same points twice? A: No, each boulder problem has to be a unique send.
Q: Will there be bonus points? A: We may throw in some random bonus point problems/challenges. We’ll post those on Instagram and in the gym if we do so.
Q: Will there be prizes? A: We’d like to think the Series itself is the real win here. With that said, we are going to reach out to sponsors and see if we can acquire some prizes for the end of the series! More info on that TBA.
