hey hey

Below are the Top 10 Reasons why everyone should participate in the 2008 Rocktoberfest Clip and Go Climbing Competition.

1. Everyone has a chance to win
Sore heel has routes from 5.4 to 5.13+
3 each divisions for men and women means everyone is competing for prizes
Old Stone division for the climbers who want to have a great climbing day, make a donation with out all the hassle.

2. Endurance
Comp is endurance based, so the a 5.12 and a 5.10 with the same number of bolts has the same number of points

3. Strategy
This competition has a strategy. Just doing the hardest route probably won’t get you the win. To maximize the points, climb each route twice. The first time gets 2 points per bolt and 4 for the anchors, while the 2nd time gets 1 point for each bolt and 1 point for the anchors.

4. Beginning of the season workout
Best way to get in shape is to climb a ton. How many pitches can you do? How many bolts can you clip?

5. Crowd avoidance
Only competitors will be allowed to use Sore Heel parking Saturday until 2:00 pm
150+ routes at 13 crags, (you do the math)

6. Supports the purchase of a great climbing area
No overhead means 99.97% of your $15 entry fee in goes to pay down the mortgage. The only cost to the RRGCC for this event is copies for the scoresheet.

7. Be a part of history
This is the first year of the Clip and Go Climbing Competition. The RRGCC will be holding this yearly competition at Rocktoberfest, so come out and be a part of the one that started it all.

8. You can register 3 ways
Online rrgcc.org
at Rocktoberfest registration desk at Bee Rock on Friday or Saturday morning
at the site day of at the comp (CASH ONLY)

9. Prizes
There are a ton of prizes available.

10. All the cool kids are doing it.
