ÜG Climbing League

Summer League is over.
Our next league is coming soon.

Start putting together your team (up to 4 climbers) – this is a fun league that will challenge both brand new climbers as well seasoned climbers. The more you climb, the better your odds are of winning: Arc’teryx is sponsoring this league with $1000 in gift cards to a randomly selected team of 4 at our Castle Rock Outlet store. So your team could be the big winners, even if you are a brand new climber.

The cost is only $40 and includes the league t-shirt for signups before June 17th.

Overall, this league should be about working together and giving you all a better reason to talk to others that you see often around the crag. If you have any questions, please ask the staff. Thanks and good luck!

Summer League Format

It’s ok if you don’t have a team, we’ll help connect you with others – that’s part of the fun of this league!
- You can even begin as an individual, duo, or threesome.
The League is 7-weeks long, beginning Saturday June 17th.
- There will be one new set every week (Friday marks a new week.)
- There will be (3) Rope Routes Sets and (3) Boulder Problem Sets
  - Scores are the best of your top (3) sets – so you can focus on Ropes, Boulders, or both!
- Rope routes will be set the first week, then boulders problems, and they alternate sets.
Points will be awarded for every successfully completed climb. Try as many as possible!
- A climb is completed when a climber begins on the route’s designated start hold(s) for two full seconds, completes the entire route without falling, resting on the rope, or using holds from other routes, and finishes with both hands on the finish hold(s) for two full seconds.
If the climb is not successfully climbed, you can earn some points as each climb will feature zone holds worth some points, so even if you can’t climb the whole route, you’ll earn points based on how far off the ground you get before falling.
If the climb is successfully climbed on the very first attempt, a flash bonus will be awarded.
Every point earned over the course of the league is worth a raffle ticket!
- The higher you climb, the more points you earn, and the greater your chances of winning some great prizes.

Scoring:

Rope routes successfully climbed earns you 5 points.
Boulder problems successfully climbed earns you 3 points.
Flash bonus earns you 1 extra point.
Max points: Rope & Boulder problems: 48 points

League Shirts

Those that signed up by June 17th get a free League T-Shirt!

Each climber will be able to select any of these solid shirt colors (Including Summer Red which is the white t-shirt with red trim).

Or choose your favorite solid color with white ink or work with others to choose a team color!

Top Team Prizes

Arc’teryx is putting up some great prizes that will be won via lotto.

Again, this is a friendly league with the goal to help encourage everyone to climb as much as possible this summer. With each climb earning you raffle tickets, even teams full of new climbers have a good chance to win.
