Upcoming USAC Competitions

*Competition & Select Team Specific*
  • The Spring Competition Season will run January through April
  • Competitions will be virtual, with climbers entering scores and logging videos using an app called Kaya
    • Kaya allows you to keep a logbook recording number of attempts, videos of ascents, and other information related to competitions
    • USA Climbing put out a great FAQ, details on registering for a competition are found on page 7
    • You can learn more about submitting videos HERE
    • Be sure to keep a written record of all completed climbs and all videos in case of a technical issue w/ Kaya
    • Be sure to review our Region (#52) page and note that all competition registration & scoring is done through USAC & Kaya, not the gym
  • Competitions are in a two-week redpoint format. Climbers may climb and submit videos any time over the two week competition period
  • Final score is the combined value of your five hardest ascents during that two week period
  • You can project routes as much as you want over the two week competition period
  • Regionals qualification is determined by your points total from one competition

There we will be attending one competition in our immediate area:
  • March 15th-28th @ Climb Bentonville
    • Climbers can work and complete routes for the competition during practice

      Select Team is not required to take part in this competition but you may if you wish. Reach out to Coach Sam (sam.helgeson@climbnashville.com) if you have any questions!

Step-by-Step USAC Registration

*Competition & Select Team Specific*
  • NOTE: Memberships purchased for the Fall Bouldering Season will also apply to the Spring Sport Climbing Season
  • Carefully read description of Competitor and Introductory Memberships
  • Follow the link labeled "Click Here to Log In or Purchase a 2020-2021 Membership."
  • Create an account and follow instructions for purchasing Competitor Membership or Introductory Membership
    • Competitor Membership allows climbers to qualify for Regionals.
    • Introductory Membership allows climbers to compete in qualifying events but these climbers must upgrade to a Competitor Membership prior to a qualifying event in order for said event to count towards Regionals qualification
  • Upon registration you will receive a Membership ID for your climber. Please send that ID, along with your climber's DOB, in response to Coach Sam at sam.helgeson@climbnashville.com. That information will allow me to add the climber to our team roster
  • Please note that, due to all our locations (Nashville, Bentonville, and Murfreesboro) being in the same competitive region (#52), we are now under the team name: The Climb Team. Climbers from all facilities will compete under this team name
Technical analysis of successful competitive lead climbers. Note that the keys to success are good decision-making combined with proper pacing. When physical fitness is even the most efficient climber will often come out on top.
