Rules
To keep the competition as fair as possible for all teams, all competitors will be asked to abide by a few rules:
- Teams should consist of up to 6 participants
- Each participant will attempt 4 different walls
- Participants can only climb for 1 team
- Teams can choose 1 team member only to participate in the bonus challenge ‘The Leap of Faith’.
- The evening is run to a tight timetables therefore if you are late for your booked time slot you may forfeit your place for the competition and may have to wait until the end to take part. Please arrive in good time to get ready and briefed before your climbing slot
- Participants must remove all jewellery before they climb
- Participants are asked to attend the safety briefing and comply with all the rules and instructions provided, including awareness of safety zones, clipping rules and how to descend safely on the auto belay
- All participants must use Personal Protection Equipment (harnesses and karabiners) provided by Clip ‘n Climb Plymouth. No personal harnesses are permitted
- Climbers are requested to wear trainers or appropriate footwear for climbing. No open toe or heeled shoes are allowed
- In the interests of fair play, no rock climbing shoes are permitted
- We do not allow chalk in our arena
- The decision of CNC staff is final. Any participants answering back will be given detention
The evening is run to a tight time schedule which does not include time for practising on the climbs. Some of the climbs are harder than they look so organising who does which climb and practising beforehand can contribute hugely to your final results
