Lincoln Rocks

MW Climbing is hosting Lincoln Rocks this year on Saturday, September 28th! Join us for a fun day filled with climbing and friendly competition. Spots are limited, so be sure to sign up early! Registration is now OPEN and can be completed online or in-person.

On the day of the event, you’ll get 3 hours to climb all the climbs in your category. Every category will have 8 total climbs that will count towards your final score. The climbs will often vary in style and test different skills so it helps to be well-rounded.

Our setters aim for a normal distribution spread in scores for every category. All this means is that setters will aim to have most of the climbers reach the TOP of around 3-5 climbs out of 8 total climbs. If you are able to flash all 8 climbs or are getting 0% of climbs, you should adjust your difficulty category.

$35
