The competition will run in three sessions, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening. Sessions are not split based on skill division or category, so sign up for whichever you prefer. They are capped at a certain number, so sign up ASAP to get your preferred timeslot!:

  • Morning Session: 9:00AM-12:00PM

  • Afternoon Session: 12:30PM-3:30PM

  • Evening Session: 4:00PM-7:00PM

  • After Party: 7:00PM-10:00PM

    • Awards: 7:30PM

    • Costume Contest: 7:30PM

    • Dyno Competition: 8:00PM

The Morning Session is for all ages! Afternoon and Evening sessions are restricted to 14+.

Sign up for one of the following divisions: Recreational, Intermediate, or Advanced. If you need help deciding which division is best for you, see the FAQs tab above. Within each division you can compete in the Male, Female, or Gender Non-Conforming category.

After both sessions are finished, the top 3 competitors from each Recreational and Intermediate category will be awarded with prizes at 7:30PM! You do not need to be present to claim your prize.

Keep the party going and join us from 7:00PM-10:00PM for some Greater Frights after party festivities, including tie-dying, games and activities, and a body-hucking Dyno Competition starting at 8:00PM, all while enjoying FREE Costco pizza and beer provided by our friends over at Working Draft Brewing Company.

FAQ

  • If you can project (with regular success)…

    5.7-5.10 = Recreational Division

    5.10+-5.12- = Intermediate Division

    5.12 and up = Advanced/Open Division

  • No, Greater Frights is open to people of all ages! However, climbs won't necessarily be set with our tiniest climbers in mind, so we recommend that they be 8 or older to compete.

  • For capacity reasons, we encourage people over the age of 18 not to bring guests. That said, our strict maximum is 2 guests per competitor during the Morning and Afternoon Sessions. During Advanced/Open finals, there is no guest limit. Gentle reminder that non-competitors are not allowed to climb during the competition. The gym will re-open to the public from 7:00PM-10:00PM. Non-members and non-competitors will need to purchase day passes if they plan on staying after finals end at 7:00PM to climb.

  • Please consider carpooling to the competition or getting dropped off! If you have ever been to the gym on Tuesday or Thursday night, you know what you’re up against. Carpooling, Ubering, or having someone drop you off will help reduce parking lot hecticness.

    If the parking lot is full, you will need to park along Novation Parkway or street parking in adjacent neighborhoods. Please DO NOT park in lots of neighboring businesses.

    Although we hope everyone has a seamless competition day experience, we suggest arriving earlier rather than later—as you may have to park off site and walk.

  • Refunds will be granted on a case-by-case basis for extraneous circumstances only. Please email info@ghclimbing.com if you will not be able to attend the competition and feel this applies to you.
