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
• 1 point for falling
• -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, choose one grader lower than your redpoint level, ie. if your hardest lead climbs are in the 5.11 range, sign up for the 5.10 category. 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:

• 5.9 and below (for the 5.10 and below climber)
• 5.10s (for the 5.11 climber)
• 5.11s (for the 5.12 climber)
• 5.12s (for the 5.13 climber)

Each division will have a marked selection of roughly 20 or so climbs to tackle, so don't forget to strategize your climbing!

For our Midlothian event, the gym will only be open to participating members and their fans, which means more space for you! Additionally, to allow for more participants, there will be an 10am -2pm and a 2:30pm to 6:30 session. Following awards, stick around for a beverage social from 7-8pm with an assortment of lawn games.

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

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