AUTO BELAY AWARENESS
As we continue to drive the gold standard here at Redpoint Worcester, auto belay awareness is paramount to safe centre usage.

Most accidents are caused by complacency and simple human error, so keeping yourself aware and checking before every climb is critical.

✅ Check your clipped in correctly
✅ Check your harness
✅ Check yourself

Don’t trust your memory. Trust your routine.

SUMMER BOULDERING LEAGUE IS HERE! ROUND 1

Think you’ve got what it takes to top the leaderboard? The Summer Bouldering League has officially arrived, and it is built for all abilities—whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned crusher.

But this league comes with a tactical twist... The Split-Point Scoring System!

Every single boulder problem is worth a flat 1,000 points. Those points are shared equally between everyone who tops it.
10 climbers finish a problem? You get 100 points each.
5 climbers finish a problem? You get 200 points each.
Only 1 climber finishes? You take the full 1,000 points!

Will you play it safe on the popular routes or hunt down the hidden, high-value gems?

Everything is tracked digitally. Just grab the app, log your sends, and watch the live leaderboard!

Join the league and track your scores here: https://griptonite.io/events/30d61608-9c03-5795-8fd9-f9cb7cfa4572/
