On-Site Format
In an on-sight route, the climber will not see any other person climb the route prior to attempting it him/herself. To accomplish that goal, climbers enter an isolation area prior to the event and are brought out one at a time to climb. When competing in an on-sight format competition, receipt of any information concerning a route prior to or during the attempt on the route is grounds for disqualification of the competitor. Competitors are free to discuss a route with other competitors in isolation who have not previously climbed/attempted the route. One-round, designated routes for each category, multi-route, single attempt ONLY.
- The gym will set routes per category.
- Climbers are not permitted to watch others’ attempts before they climb the routes themselves.
- Climbers are permitted a preview of their routes prior to climbing, however.
- Climbers are kept in isolation and are brought out one at a time to climb.
- Each of the routes is climbed in sequence, with a set amount of time permitted to climb each route. A separate rest period MAY be given between routes.
- Only one attempt is permitted on each route.
- The highest point reached on the route is scored in accordance with USA Climbing rules for on-sight format competitions.
