Comp Etiquette
First and foremost, our comps are meant to be fun and to establish camaraderie within our community. These are a great way to meet and climb with those who share your love of the sport. We encourage you to be supportive of your fellow climber.
Here are some etiquette guidelines:
- Wait your turn and be courteous
- Stay off the pads if you’re not climbing
- Be safe – don’t walk, run, or climb under others
- Don’t get frustrated, stay positive and have fun!
First time?
- Be sure to watch others for beta
- Pace yourself – remember it’s a timed event, not a race
- Don’t take it too seriously! Don’t be intimidated by the term “competition”
