Early Bird registration has ended!

We NEED Volunteers
No experience required!
This event NEEDS volunteer judges to be able to have things run smoothly and with less confusion on who’s turn it is on the climb in front of you.
Overall, judges help to streamline the climbing sessions and everyone has a better time. If we do not have enough judges for the Citizen rounds, we will have to move to peer judging.
Open Qualifiers Judges – Friday 10/25
AM Citizen’s Round Judges – Saturday 10/26
