Group Auto Belay Event: Deposit

Get your crew on the wall with the use of Auto Belay devices! Auto Belays are great tools that allow participants to climb “roped” walls without a human belayer. Instead the climber clips into the Auto Belay device, which connects to the top of the wall. If the climber falls or finishes the climb, the auto belay slowly lowers the climber to the ground.

By booking and paying the non-refundable $60 deposit, you are reserving this date and time for a Peak Experiences Group Auto Belay Event!

This event is used as a booking tool for a Group Auto Belay Event time slot and there will only be one participant - the person booking the event. The complete list of up to fourty (40) participants will be filled out in a separate private event, which you will be invited to manage shortly after successful payment of deposit for this booking!

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.

There will be two heats, a morning time slot 10am-2pm and an afternoon time slot from 3pm-7pm. Results and awards will be tallied and announced following the afternoon heat.

Divisions
As this is an endurance competition, you won't be climbing at your max effort level, but rather climbing within your comfortable lead ability for four hours. No matter your skill level, there's a category for you. Each division will have a variety of routes and grades that are designed to be range between a warmup to a slight challenge for the skill level. Not sure what category is the right one or on the fence between grades? 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 (for climbers leading 5.9 comfortably and into the 5.10s)
• Intermediate (for climbers comfortable on 10s and projecting 11s)
• Advanced (for climbers comfortable on 11s and projecting 12)
• Open (for those climbing the hardest routes in the gym)

Each division will have a 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 there are a few select Clip It or Whip It shirts available for sale 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.

This class will be taught in American Sign Language with interpretation provided by Mosaics Interpreting Services.

Gentle Yoga is geared specifically for those who are interested in a gentle practice. This class incorporates simple flowing sequences to warm up the body, as well as slower paced movements focusing on alignment, strength, balance, and flexibility.

Please sign up here for access to the class. Payment is a "pay what you can" donation based model that can be paid at the studio towards Mosaic Interpreting.
