LOOK UP YOUR START TIME HERE!

Your start time will also be printed on your bib, which can be picked up on the day before the climb. In order for us to accurately control the length of the line, we cannot re-assign your time once it is announced, so please be prepared to climb at any time during the category that applies to you.

The event kicks off at 11:00am, and the last climber begins his/her climb at 6:45pm. Climbers will be assigned a 15 minute wave and will be allowed to line up no sooner than 15 minutes prior to their official start time. Climbers are then released into the stairwell in 6-second intervals. One of the benefits of forming a team is that all team members will be assigned to the same wave. 

Please use the following information to help plan your afternoon:
