Climbers info
BCNThe organisation of the Belgian Climbing Cup is shared between the Club Alpin Belge (CAB), Belgische Alpenclub (BAC) and the Belgian Commission for Competition Climbing - BCC (technical part).
Date | Place | |
---|---|---|
Round 1 |
Saturday 30th of September |
New Rock (Brussels) |
Round 2 |
Saturday 21th of October |
Klimzaal Blok (Wilrijk) |
For the final BCC-ranking both Round 1 and Round 2 count.
The idea behind this formula is that the climbers will have a common work-out time during which they can work out the boulders (1 hour). After this time the actual competition will take place. During the competition period (2 hours), the climbers can move freely around in the competition area. They can choose when and how many times they will try a boulder but every attempt will be counted. Before every attempt they will hand over their personal card to the boulder judge. The judge will fill in the card according to the international rules.
There will be 3 different categories*
# boulders | Grade | |
---|---|---|
C category |
12 boulders |
6a to 7a |
B category |
12 boulders |
6b to 7b |
A category |
12 boulders |
6c to 7c |
*we use the grading for difficulty climbing
Categories for men and women are identical. For women boulders in all categories can contain extra holds. Depending on the accommodation, the number of boulder problems can be 12 or 8 boulders for each category.
Registration has to be done before each Cup. Before every Cup, climbers need to register at the CAB-office (081/23.43.20 - Mo-Fr from 9 tot 12 AM or at [email protected]) at least the Wednesday before the cup at 12 AM. Inscriptions open from 7 september 2006. All participants must have been born in or before 1992. Younger climbers can obtain a 'wild card' and will compete out of category. To obtain a 'wild card', a motivation has to be send from the trainer or parent to the principal judge Wim Verhoeven.
