Each category will be assigned a set of numbered boulders. You'll have 6 days to complete them. The boulder number represents its point value with zones being worth half and tops full point value i.e boulder 10 is worth 10 points for a top and 5 for a zone. Each attempt deducts 0.1 points from your score, so climb smart!
You will have 6 days to send as many of the boulders in your category as possible. (flashing all of your boulders would be the best possible score.)
