Join us for the first of many "Clip It or Whip It" member challenges!

It's a friendly members-only lead competition that's more about your head game than how hard you can climb.

The rules of the game are simple:

• All routes are climbed on lead

• One try per climb

• You have 5 hours to climb all the routes in your category

Scoring

• 2 points for clipping the anchor without any falls or takes

• 1 point for falling

• -1 point for calling for a take

This challenge is designed to encourage you to try that move and overcome the fear of falling. You'll be surprised how much harder and further you can climb once you just start going for it.

$5 to sign up, with proceeds from ticket sales going straight to the prize pool!

Divisions
When deciding which category to compete in, choose one grader lower than your redpoint level, ie. if your hardest lead climbs are in the 5.11 range, sign up for the 5.10 category.

The divisions break down as follows:

• 5.9 and below (for the 5.10 and below climber)

• 5.10s (for the 5.11 climber)

• 5.11s (for the 5.12 climber)

• 5.12s (for the 5.13 climber)

Each division will have a marked selection of roughly 20 or so climbs to tackle, so don't forget to strategize your climbing!

There will be prizes for the top scorers and for everyone else, complimentary post-climb (or post-whip) beers from our buds at Väsen Brewing!

If you have any questions, reach out to Ryan Akens at ryan@peakexperiences.com

This should be obvious, but you must be lead-climb and lead-belay certified at Peak Experiences in order to participate.
