The sport season is upon us and comps are coming up quickly. Here's the schedule:

  • April 10 - Spire Climbing Center, Bozeman, Montana (click on link for registration and comp information)
  • April 17 - Reed Gym, ISU, Pocatello, Idaho. Registration is at 9:00 a.m. with climbing from 10:00am-1:00pm. New routes this year including lead climbing (no bouldering).
  • April 24 - Momentum Indoor Climbing, Sandy, Utah (registration and comp information will be posted on Momentum's website soon)

  • May 8 - Nampa Recreation Center, Nampa, Idaho (waiver comp information to follow shortly)
  • May 15 - Big Sky Region Finals, The Quarry, Provo, Utah
  • June 12-13 - Division 1 Finals, Club Sport, Tigard, Oregon (by invitation only)
  • July 8-11 - SCS Youth Nationals, Stone Summit, Atlanta, Georgia (by invitation only)

A couple of things to keep in mind as we get ready for competition:


  • Most gyms require a new waiver every year for anyone that will be going into the gym. If you are under 18 years of age, the waiver must be signed by your parent or legal guardian. (no, coaches don't count as legal guardians) Don't get caught without one and have to forfeit competing.
  • Team Momentum members are required to wear their uniforms at competitions.
  • Local competitions are "redpoint" format while Regional, Divisional and National competitions are "onsite" or "modified onsite" format.
  • Competitions are run mostly by volunteers. Parents, if you are qualified to belay, consider helping out for a little while at competitions that you attend. Also, be sure to thank the people that make the competition possible.
  • Some gyms have preregistration and others don't. Gyms that offer preregistration often offer a discount to those who do.
  • If you haven't registered your climber with USAClimbing but you want their scores to count and/or you want them to be able to receive an invitation to Divisionals and Nationals, you will have 72 hours after the first of the three required local comps to get them registered.
  • If you don't plan on registering your climber with USAClimbing, there is an additional $5 day use fee added on to each competition.
  • Don't hesitate to ask any questions that you may have.
