The Great Lakes Mixed Competition in the Fall?!? We can't think of a better way to get primed for the upcoming winter season!
Regardless if you are new to ice and mixed, a competition veteran or just curious what it's like to climb with ice tools, the goal of this competition is to have fun and gain experience.
The comp is on Saturday, November 2nd 2019, but we are planning a full weekend event to make it worth while for those who need to drive a long distance.
We will have a p
reliminary round (top rope) for everyone and a final (lead) round for the top contestants. All competitors will climb the same routes in the preliminary round, the top competitors will advance to finals. The competitors who don't make it to finals will be ranked by age category.
The preliminary round will be open format, so you will be free to watch and cheer for your friends. The route setter will climb the routes as a demonstration before the competitors start so everyone can have the beta.
There will be multiple routes for the prelims, so everyone will get a chance to do a good amount of climbing in the comp. All competitors should bring their own leashless tools, crampons, harness and helmet. Rentals may be avalible through Peabody Ice Climbing, but it's suggested to reserve in advance through: www.peabodyiceclimbing.com/reserve-gear/
