Things to Know:

Routesetting Impact:

There will be 20 routes set as dedicated competition routes starting November 21st.  These routes will be available to the community for climbing but will be clearly labeled as competition routes and not to be climbed by Team BRC athletes, competitors and their families (failure to do so can results in disqualification).  These routes will be more “competition style” but are still designed to be fun and assessible to the BRC community.

We will be stripping additional routes surrounding these competition lanes however they will be promptly replaced the following week to maintain our route count and rotation.

Volunteers Needed!

It takes an army to host competitions and we are looking for belayers and judges for this event!  Volunteers will receive two free guest passes to BRC per shift plus snacks and beverages. Volunteers also spectate for free and get an extra spectator pass to share.

Compliance with SafeSport and MAAPP for USA Climbing requires all volunteers for youth events to obtain a free Volunteer membership through the USAC Member Portal.

If you are interested, please contact cwall@boulderrockclub.com.
