FAQ

How is my climber's age category decided?

Categories are decided by birth year:

  • Youth F: 7–8 years old · Born 2018–2019
  • Youth E: 9–10 years old · Born 2016–2017
  • Youth D: 11–12 years old · Born 2014–2015
  • Youth C: 13–14 years old · Born 2012–2013

Climbers aged 5 or 6: They may also be accepted into Youth F, but the routes are designed with climbers up to age 8 and their height and reach in mind.

Can a younger climber join Youth D Lead (11–12 years old)?

Yes, if they lead proficiently. This is a major step up: the routes are designed for 11–12-year-olds and will be much harder, with older and taller climbers' reach and ability in mind.

Can my climber enter both September and November?

A younger proficient lead climber may enter their age-appropriate September category and Youth D Lead in November. The two entries are registered separately.

Can my climber enter more than one category or format?

They may enter the September competition and Youth D Lead in November if eligible. On the same competition weekend, however, each climber may enter only one age category and one format. For Youth C/D, choose Top Rope or Lead—the qualifier routes are shared, so competitors cannot enter both.

Does Lead require a certificate?

No formal certification is required, but the competitor must be able to lead climb and clip confidently and safely without assistance.

Can I withdraw or get a refund?

No. Registration fees are strictly non-refundable and withdrawals are not available.

Detailed competition rules, reporting times and event information will be released closer to each competition date.
