FAIR ACCESS TO USAC QE BOULDERS

In an attempt to give equal access to all competitors for the USAC QE series, please follow these simplified rules.

Reservations

At the time of preparing this document the rules for our 4 host gyms are:

  • Mesa Rim Reno- Reservation required
  • Bridges- Reservation required
  • PG Santa Clara- No reservation required Monday-Friday 6AM - 2:45PM; Advance reservation required all other times
  • BaseCamp Reno- Reservation required

Team Members and Reservations

If you are a team member at any of these gyms you generally must make a reservation if you plan to touch the competition boulders, even if you would normally be there during team time.

For example, considering the above reservation hours -- PG team members, if you have team practice at 4PM on any day and want to try the QE boulders, you must make a reservation through PG’s site. If you happen to have a team practice on a weekday morning at 10AM you do not have to make a reservation, as no one needs one at that time. This is so competitors from other teams have the same access to the climbs.

Home Teams

If several members from the team are working on QE boulders with coaches, it is easy for these climbs to get overwhelmed and any other competitors not be able to get near them. Please make sure not to crowd the area, project for too long, or block another competitors' access to these climbs. Remember you may get several sessions trying these climbs, the non-member may have driven for several hours for their two hour reservation and this may be their only chance. Remember also to try them only for the period of time a guest would be able to. Try to keep in mind what would be fair if you were the visiting team.

It may feel like a normal practice session, remember to follow usual USAC rules of no beta while on the wall or while establishing on the start.

Access to Climbs before Official Competition Window

Some new boulders will be set for the competition, but it’s unlikely any gym will set 30+ boulders the day before a competition window begins. It is highly likely that if you are climbing at the gym before the competition starts you may have been on a boulder that is included in the competition. USAC recognizes that this may give a home advantage, however there is no real way around the problem. The boulders that will be included in the competition will be marked with USAC placards just before the start of the competition window. Even if you have flashed the problem or projected it all week, you can still climb the boulder as part of the competition. However, even if you've worked them before, once they have been marked or you otherwise learn they will be part of the competition, you should avoid touching them until you are taking part in an "equal access" competition session as described above.

First Sport Local comp at Diablo Rock Gym

Join us for the first comp this sport season at Diablo Rock Gym on Saturday, February 15th. We will be running two 3-hour climbing sessions based on USAC Category.

ATTENTION TCS Comp Climbers on Feb 7th: If you compete at the TCS Comp on Feb 7th, or try the routes before the local starts, you are not allowed to participate at the USAC local event on February 15th.

For sport locals, every facility will have its own rules regarding belaying. Here are Diablo's:

  • You must provide your own belayer and belay device.
  • If you plan to lead climb or lead belay, you must arrive with credentials. Diablo will NOT have the capacity to offer lead belay or lead climb tests the day of the event.
  • All existing Touchstone belay credentials are valid.
  • Lead climb & lead belay certification from any gym will be honored. (But really, with their many great gyms and kid-friendly policies, all "B"s and up should make a point of getting Touchstone lead credentials ASAP anyway.)
  • For top-rope belaying, Touchstone credentials are required. Please obtain this (at any Touchstone gym) ahead of time if at all possible, as capacity to offer top-rope belay tests will be very limited.
  • As is the case for any gym anytime, if staff sees unsafe climbing or belaying practices they have the right to revoke belaying/climbing privileges on the spot.

Unless you are 100% sure you have a valid waiver, fill out a waiver online at Touchstone Waivers.

Competition Registration:

  1. BEFORE THE COMP, purchase an annual 2019-20 USAC Membership (Online ONLY):
    $30 Introductory Membership (valid for Local events ONLY)
    OR

Davis, CA- Air Quality

Rocknasium comp is going forward tomorrow; they have A/C and (fresh) air filters. USA Climbing is aware of the situation; here is their response:

As was done with the fires and other weather related situations last season, USA Climbing will not make any decisions until after the competition has ended and we are able to assess the severity of the situation and how many competitors the weather actually affected. Additional considerations to the situation will be the number of prior opportunities within region201 that were available for competitors to receive credit.

Please know that USA Climbing would never encourage a family to put themselves in harms way. If a competitor is affected by the situation they should notify us before the end of the competition tomorrow at info@usaclimbing.org. The email communication should contain the competitor’s first and last name, home region, full address, team affiliation and evidence of the inclement weather preventing the competitor from attending the competition.

  • Lead climb & lead belay certification from any gym will be honored. (But really, with their many great gyms and kid-friendly policies, all "B"s and up should make a point of getting Touchstone lead credentials ASAP anyway.)
  • For top-rope belaying, Touchstone credentials are required. Please obtain this (at any Touchstone gym) ahead of time if at all possible, as capacity to offer top-rope belay tests will be very limited.
  • As is the case for any gym anytime, if staff sees unsafe climbing or belaying practices they have the right to revoke belaying/climbing privileges on the spot.

See you Saturday!

The Cafe Frascati coffee cart will be here from 9:00am to 12pm serving complimentary coffee drinks. The neighborhood has also seen a lot of expansion and would highly recommend heading to the SOFA Market for lunch…or maybe just a juice or ice cream bar after climbing!

Parking BETA!!! The Studio does not have a parking lot so please make sure to take a look at the places we can validate your parking in the neighborhood. The gym recommends the parking garage located at 2nd and San Carlos as we can validate your parking for the whole day here rather than just 2 hours which is true if you choose to park at the Convention Center garage. They do not validate for any of the open air parking lots that are privately owned.
