Community climbing that’s part low-key competition but mostly just a celebration? Check. A snack-sustained, beer-flowing, and prize-packed party with your fav crew of crushers? You bet.
Each year we try to develop an even better way to say THANK YOU to our members and friends for making the Touchstone fam the best bunch of crag clamberers and pepple wrestlers on this (or any) side of the Sierra.
Enter Touchstone Climbing Series (TCS), where each Touchstone gym hosts an all-day community event for members and non-members alike. Stop by one of our TCS events to enjoy comp-style climbs, refreshments galore, games, and a shower of raffle goodies from all your favorite outdoor brands. Want to compete? You got it. Rather just climb and party with friends? You do you.
Registration usually opens the same week as the comp. Please complete your competition code and waiver before arriving to expedite your registration. If you arrive with these two things, you will be greeted with the highest of high fives.
We’re stoked to have a new format where TCS events are happening at multiple gyms on the same day. Why? It’s simple—keep crowds manageable, comp climbs accessible, and ensure each community gets its own epic party.
When you arrive and register, we’ll give you a scorecard. Keep it! TCS comps are self-scored. After you complete a problem or route, find it on your paper scorecard and circle the points associated with how many attempts it took you to complete it: 1 try? 2 tries? 3 tries? You get the idea. Have your spotter, belayer, or someone who saw you complete the climb initial each score. Once you’re done climbing, enter all your scores into the online platform we’ve created, and turn in your paper scorecard to be automatically entered into our raffle. Then just kick back, relax, and wait for the rain of prizes!
