The format
How it works
One ladder of climbs per category, climbed one after another in ascending grade. Every competitor in the category gets the same climbs.
2 min
2 minutes per climb, up to 3 attempts. An attempt you start before the time ran out can be finished.
3 lives
Fail a climb, lose a life. You start with 3.
1 left
Last climber standing wins. At 0 lives, you're out.

Everyone else is out. Last climber standing wins.
Men and women, same climbs
Men and women climb the same climbs at the same angle. Women join the ladder two grades lower, men join when it reaches their entry grade.
Tiebreak
If the last climbers go out on the same climb, it goes to sudden death: one attempt each on classic climbs one grade down, until exactly one of you sends.
Full rules will be published soon.

One card each
Call a friend
Every competitor gets one call-a-friend card. When you're stuck on a climb, you can call a friend out of the crowd.
Play it at any point in your 2-minute window. Your remaining attempts on that climb are forfeited. Your friend gets one attempt, and whatever time is left on the clock.
If they sendIt counts as your send and costs you nothing.
If they don'tYou lose two lives – one for you, and one for your friend.
You need at least 2 lives to play it, and it's gone in tiebreaks. Your friend can't be competing in any category that day, and each friend can only be called once all night by anyone.
Bring someone who climbs.
