Pumpkin Pump Adult RedpointPUMPKIN PUMP IS BACK!
The Pumpkin Pump is a tiered redpoint style bouldering competition - meaning you get to try a variety of boulders over the course of the event
and see how many you can complete. Come dressed to impress and potentially win the costume contest! We'll have food, fun, prizes and
so much stoke it'll make you sick (or maybe that's from all the candy?). Compete among friends and peers! Each category will have
a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winner.
Adult climbers can sign up for any adult redpoint round, regardless of category.
Youth climbers must sign up for the Friday evening Youth Redpoint Round.
The top five competitors from each Adult Open and Youth Advanced categories (Male and Female) will be invited back for Finals to compete for 1st place! Stick around to watch a truly spectacular bouldering show! Stage lighting, a DJ, maybe some dynos and knee bars, the battle for bragging rights, and epic raffle prizes!
