CLIMBATHON

Aarhus Aaby ⎸ Odense ⎸ Vanløse

Ready for a full week of competitive climbing, sweat and wild vibes on the walls?

Climbathon is back - and it's for everyone. Whether you climb green or black, you can join in. Scroll to the bottom for a guide on how to get the most out of the week.

How it works

We're opening the doors to an open-for-all competition that runs all week. New problems are set on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday - and you can get started as soon as they are ready (around 17:00).

You collect tops and zones, keep track of your score and battle against yourself (or your friends).

No need to sign up, just write your name on the scorecard - and start climbing.

Two categories:

• 1 / Easy (you only climb Easy problems)

• 2 / Hard (if you can solve a Hard problem, you are in that category)

Prizes

We will draw lots among all participants and select four winners from each gym.

The winners will receive cool prizes from BOULDERS.

Rules

- You register top and zones on the scorecard yourself

- If you complete one or more problems in the difficult group, you belong to that group

- A zone only counts if you are actively using it

- The competition ends at 22:00 on Sunday.

- Results published online and in the gym

• You don't have to be a member to participate – EVERYONE can join in

• You are registered for the competition and prize draw as soon as your name is on the scorecard.

The scorecard

You count and record your tops and zones on the scorecard yourself!

The scorecard hangs in the gym from Monday and is taken down on Sunday evening.

Here's how you do it:

1. Wrte your name

2. Count peaks and zones with lines in the 4 columns

Zone = You need to actively use the zone - just touching is not enough.

Top = You must hold the top grip with full control (or for 3 seconds).

Example of how to fill in the shared scorecard. 1 line in the zone column for each zone and 1 line in the top column for each top. Zones 1 and Tops 1 are group 1 / Easy. Zones 2 and Tops 2 are group 2 / Hard. The number of attempts is not counted.

Come and feel the community and do your best.

It's all about being involved.

How to get the most out of Climbathon week

Climbathon lasts a whole week – from November 3 to 9. New problems will be posted on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Here is a simple strategy for getting as many tops and zones as possible. Remember that the problems will remain available for a while after the competition ends, so you can finish your projects.

1. Understand the format

You must count your tops and zones yourself and write them on the scorecard. There are two categories: 1 / Easy and 2 / Hard. If you top just one 2 / Hard problem, you are in the 2 / Hard category.

2. Divide the week

Spend the first few days trying all new problems. Make mental or physical notes of which ones you can do quickly and which ones you need to work on.

Save energy mid-week and come back with fresh arms for the weekend.

3. Plan your sessions

  • Monday-Wednesday: Try everything new

  • Thursday-Friday: Target specific tops and zones

  • Saturday-Sunday: Put in the final effort and finish projects

4. Take breaks and think long term

Don't send it all on the first day. The most important thing is to distribute your efforts so you can climb all week without getting injured or burned out.

5. Use the scorecard correctly

Write your name clearly. Put one mark for each top and one mark for each zone in the correct columns. Zone 1 and Tops 1 are the Easy group. Zone 2 and Tops 2 are the Hard group. Do not count attempts.
