Anti Gravityso there's this competition at my home gym. harder climbs, more points. if you get it on your first try you get 200 bonus points for the climb. your score is the sum of your top 5 point values after 4 days of competition spread out over a month. in between comp days you're allowed to practice the climbs to rehearse the movement to help your odds.
a perfect score would be doing the 5 hardest on your first shot. REALLY difficult. 10,100 points is perfect, but only possible on day 1 of 4 if you're a BAMF.
2100+200=2300
1800+200=2000
1800+200=2000<-(that's mine so i'm not allowed to climb it)
1700+200=1900<-(that's also mine so i'm not allowed to climb it either)
1700+200=1900
2100+2000+2000+1900+1900=10,100
but that's not possible for me due to comp rules ='(
I'm staff, and I set a lot of the climbs, and i climb hard, so there were a few stipulations on letting me join the competition:
1) may not rehearse the climbs before competition
2) only allowed one day to climb
3) may not score points on climbs i put on the wall (about half the routes in my category, Advanced)
well, yesterday was competition day and i pulled some serious stuff out. here's the point breakdown:
-2100
-1700+200=1900
-1800+200=2000
-1500+200=1700
-1400+200=1600
2100+1900+2000+1600+1700=9100
so i'm currently tied for first with only one week left in the competition. the guy i'm tied with has scored on all of the hardest routes he can, but he didn't onsight anything. this means his score is likely to stay the same. and my only other likely competitor has to climb some REALLY hard stuff to make up for the point deficit
side note, my score was OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!!!! bonus points to anyone who gets that joke.
