Detailed program
Saturday, May 23rd
9:00 a.m. Check-in and warm-up
10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Climbing sessions
3:00 p.m. no new starts will be allowed in preparation for the finals.
4:00 p.m. Final round
Participants are free to organize their breaks as they wish, but it is recommended to plan ahead - toward the end of the time slots, it may be difficult to find available opportunities to start a route.
Rules
The venue is reserved for the event. All participants are required to take care of the equipment and to leave the gym in the same condition in which it was found.
Format & Number of Routes / Attempts
Each participant is allowed a maximum of 6 attempts (6 “runs”).
Each attempt must be made on a route that has not been previously attempted — whether it was successfully completed or not. Re-attempting a route is therefore prohibited.
A route is considered “attempted” as soon as both feet leave the ground. In case of doubt, the decision lies with the referee or the responsible volunteer.
Categories
Three categories are planned:
Beginner: participants who have never attempted a route graded 5B+ or higher.
Intermediate: participants who have already attempted at least one 5B+ route.
Advanced: participants who have already attempted a route graded 6A+ or higher.
If a participant qualifies for the intermediate or advanced category, they will compete only in that higher category.
Route Scoring
Each route is assigned a point value based on its difficulty (displayed at the base of the route).
For top-rope routes:
Either 0% of the points (if unsuccessful), or 100% of the points (if the final hold is reached).
In the case of success, the points are divided by 2.
​
For lead routes:Each clipped quickdraw earns 10% of the route’s total points.
The remaining points (up to 100%) are awarded if the climber reaches the top without falling, using only the holds of the route.
In the event of a fall or withdrawal, the points awarded correspond to the last quickdraw clipped.
​
Bonuses (Disability / Injuries)
Bonus points may be granted to participants with a disability or injury, according to conditions set by the organizers. These bonuses will be determined before the start of the competition.
Final Round
After the qualification phase (10:00 AM – 3:00 PM), points are totaled.
For each category (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced), the top 4 participants qualify for the final.
In the final, each finalist must complete a new route, selected by the organizers and adapted to their category level.
In the event of a tie after the final, the original ranking (qualification phase points) will be used as a tie-breaker.
Belaying, Safety & Judging
Belaying will be provided by identifiable volunteers or referees (e.g. via T-shirts or badges).
Each participant must use a harness, climbing shoes, and all required safety equipment.
Compliance with safety rules is mandatory. Any serious violation may result in exclusion from the competition.
Conduct & Respect
We aim to foster a spirit of respect, mutual support, and fair play among all participants.
Any behavior deemed inappropriate may result in a warning or exclusion from the competition.
The event is inclusive: gender, identity, expression, disability, age — everyone is welcome.
