Frequently Asked Questions
Can I do this solo?
Points are earned at the individual level, but all climbing must be done with a belay partner.
I'm a beginner — can I participate?
Absolutely! Routes will vary in difficulty. You're encouraged to find ones that match your skill level. In addition, climbing clinics, service projects, and donations for those in need will also earn you points! Whether you're climbing, or just along for the ride, you're welcome to join!
Do I need to bring my trad equipment?
A few routes will require trad equipment. Most do not. If you're participating in the token hunt, some of the hidden tokens may be found at the top of routes that require trad equipment.
Can I win more than one prize?
Yep. Every point you earn, whether it be from climbing, service, clinics, or donations, gets you a raffle ticket. You can win more than one prize!
Hidden tokens automatically receive prizes, independent of the raffle.
How do I prove I've climbed the routes?
We'll be doing verification through Instagram stories — take a selfie at the top, tag us, and we'll add points to your tally.
Don't have Instagram? We'll be providing a phone number as an alternate way to text in verifications.
Either way a phone is required (sorry, we can't paper and pencil this one)
