Categories
PRO *(V9-V12)- Mens and Womens category. HP is too easy for you, but maybe you can get in a few decent problems between yawns. … For sponsored athlete with at least one vendor sponsor. Cash prize for 1st place.
Open *(V8-V12)- Mens and Womens category. For the unknown strong man or local with HP on lockdown.
Advanced* (V6-V9)- Mens and Womens category. Just started to feel strong? Test your metal against the other 9-5ers to see whose weekends have paid off.
Intermediate* (V3-V6) Mens and Womens category. Always the place with the most competition. The level that is project mode for the majority of climbers. Prizes for top 5 in this one**.
Recreational* (V0-V2) Mens and Womens category. New to the sport or just like having a ton of fun, this is the level that results in the bloodiest tips with this group always giving it up.
Master of Stone (V0-V12) CO-ED category category. 100 problem minimum. Last year’s winner was around 110. I think 125 is appropriate…
Has Been (V0-V12)- CO-ED category. For those age 40 to 50 who still puts it down on the
Crust (V0-V12)- CO-ED category. For those age 50+ whose fingers still prefer the curl around the stone or a cool beverage rather than a cane.
*NOTE: MENS AND WOMENS will be CO-ED if there isn’t at least 5 in the category
Format:
Endurance format. No limit on amount of problems as long as they fall in your grade range (example open can only count problems V8-V12).
