Main Campaign Objectives:<\/h3>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Side Quests – Xtra Bonuses:<\/h3>\n
There are three categories you can earn more points:<\/p>\n
\n- Hangboard<\/strong><\/a>:Get 1 Hangboard session in each week.<\/li>\n
- Workout<\/strong><\/a>: Get 3 short workouts in over 2 weeks.<\/li>\n
- Yoga \/ Fitness Classes<\/strong><\/a>: Get 4 yoga or fitness classes in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Note:<\/strong> The more you do, the more the point value is!<\/p>\n\n- Every point earned of the league is worth a raffle ticket!\n
\n- The higher you climb and the more you workout, the more points you earn
\nand the greater your chances of winning some great prizes.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
