Date and schedule to come

The dates, schedule and registrations will be published later.

The amateur competition includes two categories of male and female competitors, each of whom will be able to demonstrate their uniqueness.

The “men’s” categories will have a 5h30 time slot in which to perform.

The “women’s” categories will have a 3:00 time slot in which to perform.

The competition takes place on two mixed routes in moulinette.
Each participant must climb both routes.

In the event of a tie, if more than one climber successfully completes all the routes presented, the fastest combined time will determine the winner.

To help you prepare, a meeting will be held on site in the north sector 30 minutes before the start of each time slot, i.e. at 9:00 a.m. for men and 11:30 a.m. for women.

The order of the male and female climbers for each of the mixed routes will be predetermined by a draw and will be revealed at the pre-competition meeting.

The amateur competition awards ceremony will take place at 3:30 p.m. at the châpiteau.

The top three finishers in each category will receive hardware prizes from our valued sponsors.

RULES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE

The competition is judged and timed by an experienced team of judges.

Climbers have one attempt to complete each route as quickly as possible.

For a route to be considered completed, the climber must have completed the ascent from the ground to the belay station, without a fall, without a tension hold (dry) and without using the anchors in place.

Progression is made solely on rock and ice.

In the event of a fall, the participant cannot return to the route.
Points end at the last unclipped quickdraw.

A time limit will be set for each route, and will be announced at the pre-competition meeting.

The official knot for tying the competitor is the double figure-eight knot.

At the start signal, the athlete must have both feet on the ground.

Only competitors, judges, volunteers and photographers are allowed in the competition areas.
