Winter League
Starting January 2026
First day of League is Tuesday, January 13th.
Matt (owner) will be available at 7pm to review rules, questions, etc!
TEAMS OF 4 will be working towards earning as many points as possible as every point is a chance to win great prizes. – this is a fun league that will challenge both brand new climbers as well as seasoned climbers. The more you climb, the better your odds are of winning: Arc’teryx is sponsoring this league with various fun gifts that are on display at ÜG at the front table. So you could win one of the best prizes, even if you are a brand new climber.
The cost is only $5 to participate and
only $20 for the Limited Edition T-Shirt!
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 Matt. Thanks and good luck!

Main Campaign Objectives:
The goal is to complete 8 routes each week. The primary routes with the Warrior Path are all worth 100 points – these start at 5.8 and go up to 5.12-. Knowing that there will be some really hard routes that not everyone can climb, you can use your ‘magic’ by choosing to climb any other route (and grade) of your choice, but by either using a short rope and mock leading the route by clipping into the draws while still on auto-belay or top rope belay OR you can climb the route and hover your hand for 3 seconds over each hold before grabbing it. These techniques are helpful for helping you climb better without the risk of pushing yourself on a harder route.
Side Quests – Xtra Bonuses:
There are three categories you can earn more points:
- Hangboard:Get 1 Hangboard session in each week.
- Workout: Get 3 short workouts in over 2 weeks.
- Yoga / Fitness Classes: Get 4 yoga or fitness classes in.
Note: The more you do, the more the point value is!
- Every point earned of the league is worth a raffle ticket!
- The higher you climb and the more you workout, the more points you earn
and the greater your chances of winning some great prizes.
- The higher you climb and the more you workout, the more points you earn
Note: You can join TODAY and Tuesday January 27th is the last day you can join!
Top 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.
Prizes will start being put on display at the front of the crag in the coming days.
