UPLIFT FALL CUP

November 17, Sunday, 1pm

Drum roll please…it’s time for the UPLIFT FALL CUP! As our inaugural event, this is your one and only chance to claim your place in history…to be the first Uplift Fall Cup Champion EVER!

Join us on Sunday 11/17 for a Classic Redpoint Comp! This throwback format is competition climbing at its purest — 3 hours and as many boulders as you want to climb. We’ll count your top 5 scoring boulders for your ranking, and attempts/falls will be the tiebreaker.

We’re turning down the lights, turning up the music, and watching you crush!!!

Registration
$25 - Members
$45 - Not-yet-members

Categories
A: V0-V2
B: V2-V4
C: V4-V6
D: V6-V8
E: V8+

Schedule
1p - Competitor Check-In
145p - Rules
2p - Climbing Starts
5p - Climbing Ends, prizes to follow

We recommend that you sign up for the category that most closely matches what you’d typically work on in one session. Send a V6 every time (and on every angle) you come to the gym? Category D is probably right for you. Sent a V5 that one time on the 15deg, but can’t touch the V5s on the 45deg? Category B is probably right for you.

There’s some fun trophies for each category winner, along with a raffle for prizes from Uplift, Flashed, and more!

PARKING

In addition to Uplift Climbing’s parking lot, our kind neighbors have allowed us to use some of their parking as well. We’ve provided a map: spots marked in YELLW are designated for competitor use, spots marked RED are STRICTLY NO PARKING.

  • Monka Brewing, this year we’re able to park in the entire lot.

  • Laurel Cove Community, bear left coming down the entrance driveway and only park in the lot beneath the trees. DO NOT PARK ALONG THE BUILDING.

  • If all those spots are full, there is plenty of street parking north of 175th St.

FOOD

North City is a pretty great neighborhood to be in! If you’re hungry, please stop by some of our local establishments.

  • Ichi Bento, just two doors down from Uplift. Our favorite teriyaki spot with some of the best chicken in the city.

  • Sodam Korean Fried Chicken

  • Tacos El Encanto, a delicious taco truck in the parking lot of the Shell gas station. Not vegetarian friendly.

WAIVER

PLEASE make sure you sign a waiver before coming to Uplift, as that will greatly expedite the check-in process. Click the button below to create a profile and fill out a digital waiver. Youth under 18 will need to have their parents create a profile first, add youth to their household, and sign a waiver for them.

Volunteers

Events like these don’t happen without the generous donation of time from our community. We love that every year, people step up to support the next generation of climbers. THANK YOU! There’s three sessions to sign up for this year, and in addition to a front row seat to some of the best climbing in the State, you’ll also receive a free day pass + drinks and snacks for the duration of your session. And free entry to the Uplift Fall Cup as well!

If you’re signing up just to grab beta for the Uplift Fall Cup on Sunday, we won’t tell anyone.
