Climbing Competitions
Our climbing competitions are designed for all skill levels. Each year we offer a top rope and bouldering competition. The bouldering competition is held in the Fall semester and the top rope competition is held in the Spring semester. All competitors will compete in gender neutral divisions ranging from Beginner to Advanced.
Spartan Summit
A favorite event of Outdoor Adventures, the Spartan Summit, is a top-rope rock climbing competition open to anyone! A variety of routes ranging from beginner to advanced are set to provide a fun and challenging competition for climbers of all skill levels. The Spartan Summit includes climbing, prizes, and giveaways. The top five competitors in each category are awarded prizes. Climbers can choose from the morning heat or the afternoon heat at time of registration although all awards will be done after the afternoon heat and climbers from both heats will be scored together.
