Clip It or Whip It

Event Details

Join us for the next installment of our "Clip It or Whip It" member challenge!

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 4 hours to climb all the routes in your category

Scoring

• 2 points for clipping the anchor without any falls or takes
• Updated! If you fall on a route, you still get points! Simply count how many quickdraws were clipped prior to the fall and you get .2 points per each. For example, falling after 3rd = .6 pts and falling after 6 = 1.2 pts.
• -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.

Divisions
When deciding which category to compete in, pick the level you can regularly climb without falls. Each category will have a variety of routes and grades that are designed to be range between a warmup to a slight challenge for the grade. Not sure what category is the right one? Challenge yourself and sign up for the harder category or ask for a second opinion from ryan@peakexperiences.com

The divisions break down as follows:

• Recreational (can climb up to 5.10 on lead)
• Intermediate (can climb up to 5.11 on lead) most will be here
• Advanced (can climb up to 5.12 on lead)
• Open (can climb up to 5.13 on lead)

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

Pricing is $15 per climber and Clip It or Whip It shirts are available for pre-sale and day of for $20.

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