Date: 7th September 2025
Time: 10am - 9pm
Location: BM Downtown
This year we have a carnival style full day event to celebrate the sense of community that is intrinsic to Bouldering and to BM. Mingle with other climbers and hang out with our team - our coaches will be conducting social activities to keep you entertained between your climbs!
Plus we will be unveiling a limited run of BM x Allez Cat and Friends 8th anniversary T-shirts for sale, get yours before it's gone!
For this event the entire Downtown gym will be converted into 6 traverse routes across 3 categories:
- Beginner: one blue/green and one green/yellow route
- Intermediate: one yellow/orange and one orange/red route
- Advanced: one red/pink and one pink/purple route
Scoring system
- Each traverse will have a base amount of points for a send, increasing with the difficulty of the traverse:
- Blue/Green - 10 points
- Green/Yellow - 20 points
- Yellow/Orange - 30 points
- Orange/Red - 40 points
- Red/Pink - 50 points
- Pink/Purple - 60 points
- 4 zones per traverse, giving an extra 5 points per zone reached
- Deduction of 1 point per attempt, up to 5 attempts (no further deduction above that)
- Each category has a point cap, scoring higher will result in a forced "promotion":
- Beginner - 90 points
- Intermediate - 200pts
- Advanced - No cap
Rules
- Please sign up to the appropriate category that will be fun and challenging for you. If you are not sure, feel free to ask a staff member! You will be automatically bumped up if found sandbagging.
- Only 2 climbers on the wall at a time, a staff member will let you know when it’s your turn. Please stay off the mats when waiting/spectating.
- You may not try moves at random points of a traverse, you must make attempts from the start.
- Keep moving! Shaking for a few seconds is fine but don’t abuse rest positions.
- On your scorecard, attempts should be written as the following: “F” for a flash, “2” for 2nd attempt, etc.
Prizes
Top 5 climbers per category will enter a lottery for 3 prizes. Winners for each prize will be selected by random draws, weighted by their score (The more points you score, the higher your chance to win something)
Prizes, per category:
- 1st - $200 BM credits
- 2nd - $100 BM Credits
- 3rd - $50 BM Credits
