<u> WHAT'S HAPPENING:</u>

1️⃣ COMMUNITY COMP 🧗

Boulderfest is an all-levels climbing competition. Whether you’ve been climbing for years or it’s your first ever comp, you’ll find something fun and challenging for you to climb! The routes are the absolute best of what Bouldering Project's setting team has to offer. It’s an incredible experience to climb and to watch others climb!

Competitors will choose their gender category at signup: Non-Binary, Women, Men

Competitors will choose their difficulty category on the day of the comp:

BP's system for categorizing the difficulty of climbs is based on our color circuits.  For the competition, each color circuit will contain eight boulders. Choose your difficulty category based on which color circuit you’re able to ‘blackout’ (complete all climbs of that color). The objective is to ‘blackout’ or complete the highest circuit you can.

2️⃣ PRIZES 🎁

Everyone who competes has a chance to win awesome prizes! At the end of Community Round 2 (before Open Finals) we will host a prize giveaway with $10,000+ in incredible prizes from our sponsors and local brands!

* You get a Circuit Pin which will be filled in with colors up the hardest circuit you complete ('blackout')

Prize giveaway Info:

* 1 entry per boulder sent in your blackout circuit, as well as the circuit color above and below your blackout
* Additionally, you can earn up to 1 entry for each sponsor/vendor/carnival game you participate in.

3️⃣ OPEN FINALS 🏆

The entire day culminates in an electric Open Finals competition. Top climbers compete to claim the title of Boulderfest ’25 champion! The winners take home bragging rights and the cash purse!

4️⃣ ALL DAY PARTY 🎉

What you are about to read and are requested to sign is a waiver and release of liability. Upon signing it, you will give up your right to sue Salt Lake Bouldering Project, LLC (“BP”) or anyone associated with BP for injuries or losses you suffer while using BP facilities or while participating in activities at BP facilities, including but not limited to facilities at 660 S 400 W in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Sign the document only after you have read and understand everything. If you have any questions about the agreement, consult your attorney. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY ACTIVITIES WITH BP OR AT BP FACILITIES WITHOUT THE SIGNED WAIVER.
I UNDERSTAND THAT SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT WILL PREVENT ME, MY HEIRS, EXECUTORS, DEPENDENTS, BENEFICIARIES AND ASSIGNS FROM SUING BP, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR GUESTS FOR ANY INJURIES, INCLUDING DEATH AND PARALYSIS, OR DAMAGES THAT I MIGHT RECEIVE WHILE PARTICIPATING IN ANY ACTIVITIES WITH BP OR AT BP FACILITIES.

1. RISKS

I understand that there is a significant risk of serious physical injury, death and other damages inherent in indoor and outdoor climbing, bouldering and physical fitness training activities and in my use of BP facilities and instruction relating to these activities. These risks and hazards can include, but are not limited to, injuries arising from falling and striking objects or other people; being struck by falling objects or people; failure of any part or all of the climbing structures, flooring systems, building or training and fitness apparatus; defective, worn, uneven, separated or additional flooring or pads; hazards created by additional pads; falling and failing to land on a pad; landing on a pad and nonetheless suffering an injury; failure and/or breakage of climbing holds; failure of climbing hold anchoring systems and hardware; failure of anchoring systems, anchors and belay devices used to secure climbing anchors and ropes; falling because of improper use of ropes, safety, and training or exercise equipment; injury resulting from lack of spotting, inadequate spotting or other spotting-related injury; injuries related to fitness training classes including without limitation yoga classes; risks associated with walking on streets and sidewalks to access BP facilities; strained or sprained muscles, joints and connective tissue; broken bones; personal injury including paralysis, death, illness, property damage, and other losses. I further understand that some BP facilities may be available 24 hours a day, and that some of those operating times may be without staff supervision or observation of BP facilities and that I may encounter additional risks during that time. Injury or death can arise from errors in judgment, from lack of training or information, from the negligence of me, employees or agents of BP or other parties, as well as the risks normally associated with athletic endeavors. There is no way to eliminate the risk of serious harm or death. I understand that my use of BP facilities and any instruction or knowledge I obtain at those facilities IS NOT sufficient to prepare me for the dangers and risks of indoor and outdoor climbing.

I agree to pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs of all parties if I bring a suit for injuries suffered at BP and that action is unsuccessful, in whole or in part. Additionally, in consideration of, and part payment for my right to participate in a BP-sponsored activity, I EXPRESSLY AGREE NOT TO SUE BP, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, INSTRUCTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND GUESTS AND HEREBY WAIVE ALL CLAIMS AND LIABILITIES AGAINST BP AND THOSE PARTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CLAIMS FOR NEGLIGENCE ARISING FROM MY (OR THE MINOR’S) PARTICIPATION IN CLIMBING ACTIVITIES OR USE OF BP FACILITIES OR EQUIPMENT.
