March 3rd - GOAT Climbing Gym Lead/Top Rope Competition
This competition was Lead/TR only, split into six categories: Woman's Intermediate, Woman's Advanced, Men's Intermediate, Men's Advanced, Non-binary Intermediate, and Non-binary Advanced. There were no judges so each competitor chose a category and uploaded their scores to the scoring link. Final scores were determined by the number of attempts per climb and progress made on each problem.
The competition had a 3 hour long climbing period from 7:40-10:40 pm. Each competitor had 3 attempts for each route, and there were 4 routes in each category. Scoring consisted of numbered holds followed by a Top hold. To score, the climber had to demonstrate control of the labeled hold. For a Lead climb, completing the climb consisted of clipping the top clip.
The Stevens Climbing Team had members in Women's Intermediate and Men's Intermediate.
