The idea for the competition is to encourage people to get out into the mountains as they possible can, along with an added competitive and fun aspect. I have created a points system based on the technicality of the ascent, as well as a number of challenging, fun, and sometimes ridiculous score multipliers and bonus points. Contact us if you have any bonus point suggestions! they will be considered. Our sponsors, Valhalla Pure and GrandWall, have donated some prizes, which will be announced soon!
Rules
- Must be a named moutain/peak
- Peak must be over 1,400m
- Minimum 500m elevation gain from trailhead
- Pics or didn’t happen - Photo proof required at peak (*For 5th class ascents where the peak could be hiked to, photo is required on the climb)
- Bagging Season runs from May 1st to August 31st (Only peaks bagged in this period will count.)
- A peak can only be bagged once (for competition purposes, that is) (You will not receive any additional points for repeat ascents.)
- Multipliers and bonus points will be applied after submission, based on difficulty, style, and shenanigans (See ‘Multipliers and Bonus Points’ section.)
- Open to registered/current VOC members
Scoring
- 1 Peak Bagged = 10 Points
- (10 points + Peak Bonus) x Multiplier = PeakScore
- Multipliers are cumulative. (eg. (10 x 1.2) x 1.3 = 15.6 points)
- Peak Bonuses are applied for each peak. Subject to multipliers.
- Daily Bonuses are valid once daily, only if at least 1 peak is bagged that day. Not subject to multipliers.
- Seasonal Bonuses are applied once per season, and are cumulative. Not subject to multipliers.
