A few questions:
Is there any categories?
What are the prizes?
Are ascents judged by Redpoint, onsight or pinkpoint style?
Do I have to sign a waiver?

Thanks

What gives!

I showed up today for the solo comp but where were all the people, media, and sponsors that I expected? Next year you'd better step aside Stef for someone with a better knack for organizing major events. I ended up soloing "the boulder field - V0+", "the Minkey approach - 4.12d+ A0", and the rad route on the left of the crack with the green tape anway. They were sweet. So am I though.

Hey Chris, looks like you are the winner! Everyone else showed up as well, just look for the splatter at the base of the routes. The after-party kind of sucked... :wink:

Chris,

Sorry man, Marie-France has you beat. She soloed the boulders at the base of Pass the Moonshine and did a sweet solo of the (tiny) ledge below Montezumas. all this with her yogourt spoon in her right hand!

Great event STef. can't wait until next year...though it seems there will be fewer participants.... :?

Stef,

you are just jealous she can get off the ground on the sit start for Montezumas.....
