A: So exciting! The last Top Rope comp was the Tour de Corde back in 2019. This is going to be so fun! Just bring a belayer, or team up with a friend and compete together. We can do a belay lesson for any newbies and will provide a harness for them too.

A: The first event kicks off this weekend!

Sat 29th June - Climb Fit, St Leonards - DONE 

Then there are 3 more events:

27th July - Syd Indoor Climbing Gym, St Peters

17th August - Climb Fit, Kirrawee

And FINALS will be on 1st September - Syd Indoor Climbing Gym, Villawood

It’s a social, self-scoring comp. No pressure!

You will have 2.5 hours to complete as many climbs as you like - and you submit your 5 best PLUS there will be 2 FLASH climbs that you need to attempt. Your category will determine which ones you do on the day!

INTRODUCING FLASH LINES:

• At each event there will be 2 routes per category with points awarded at different stages up the route. These are the Flash Lines. 
• Throughout the pumpfest, every climber has 1 attempt (only) at each of  the 2 Flash Lines (Youth E will only have 1 Flash Line) specified for their category. The climber adds their scores on the Flash Lines to their score sheet.
• The Flash Line routes will be similar grades to state titles. Giving the climbers a taste of the grades and the setting style.

• The scoring on the Flash Lines is similar to Olympic format scoring with points getting exponentially higher as the climb progresses. 
• Scoring holds will clearly marked so the climbers and spectators can see the points as the climbers progress.

PUMPFEST:

• In addition to their attempt on the Flash Line, climbers also complete their 5 highest scoring routes from the rest of the climbs in the gym.
• Points are only gained from completing the climb in one attempt from the bottom.
• Standard Pumpfest rules apply; no hanging to work moves, unlimited attempts providing the climbers waits their turn in the queue. 
• Self-scoring is used for both the Pumpfest and the Flash Line routes with the climbers adding up their own score at the end

It would be great if you could register online beforehand - but sign ups on the day are fine too.

We will help you select your category on the day. Rego will be open an hour before your start time, so feel free to come early and warm up, grab a coffee and get yourself ready for the pumpfest!

Just $30 for a single event 

We will even throw in harness hire and a belay lesson for your belayer if they need it.
