How It Works

Modified Redpoint

  1. 30 comp boulders, numbered 1–30. Your top 5 scores count.
  2. Hand your scorecard to a Gecko Coach and you'll be called when it's your turn.
  3. Up to 5 attempts per climb.
  4. Establish on the Zone Hold for half points. Establish on the Finish Hold for full points.
  5. Points drop with each attempt, so a first-try flash scores the most.
  6. Hit a Zone or Finish Hold on two climbs above your category and you get bumped up.
