The competition goes from 1pm-5pm. I recommend showing up about an hour early around 12 noon to warm up and hear the rules.
Registration
There’s three ways to get into the competition:
1. a $5 fee to enter the competition without USA Climbing registration.
-Note: unregistered climbers are NOT ranked meaning they can simply compete, but will not be placed into a category or be eligible to compete regionally or nationally.
2. a $30 fee to register for ABS competitions ONLY
-meaning, climbers can compete in any ABS bouldering competition without paying a $5 fee, and also will be ranked and be eligible to compete regionally and nationally
3. a $70 fee to register for both ABS competitions and SCS (Sport Climbing Series) competitions
– this membership includes both ABS competitions and SCS competitions. We will be participating in the SCS held during spring. $70 membership includes eligibility to compete at a divisional level as well. (SCS has three levels: Regionals—>Divisonals—>Nationals / ABS only has two: Regionals—>Nationals)
In order to compete in regionals on top of USA Climbing membership, climbers need to go to three local competitions:
Citybeach counts as one
Then Santuary in Sand City
Twisters in Mountain View
If Pacific Edge in Santa Cruz holds a competition will we go there instead of Sand City
Then finally regionals will be held at Citybeach

Registration might take a couple weeks, so show up to the competition with a confirmation email sent by USA Climbing after your registered to avoid having to pay $5.
