!Venga! is a bouldering competition for every one. It will be a fun and supportive atmosphere to test your abilities in a red-point format.
That means you have a three hour time limit to climb the hardest climbs you can. The only pressure is how hard you can try.
!Venga! features three categories: youth and collegiate sanctioned by USA Climbing (USAC), and citizens for anyone who wants to climb. !Venga! is for all levels of climbers. After the main competition the top male and female competitors will face-off in on-sight finals with a four minute limit per route.
!Venga! USAC Youth competition is a sanction local competition and will count towards USAC scores. Competitor or Introductory USAC Membership is required for all competitors during this event.
Citizens is the unsanctioned competition category. Competitors will be divided into Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced categories based on scores. The fun of competing is challenge your self, see how hard you can climb on new routes, in a specific time frame, with a bunch of other people doing the same challenge. The goal is to lift you up, get your new hardest send, and get a new tank-top.
The cost to compete is $35.00 and spots are limited for each of the three categories.
