1907 CLIMBING CHALLENGE

Hello climbers!!! Our annual 1907 climbing challenge starts today!!
The 1907 challenge highlights the founding of East Carolina University!! We challenge YOU (or your team) to climb the wall 76 TIMES, which amounts to 1,907 FEET ASCENDED!!
Get a team, grab a scorecard, and get ready for some awesome climbing (and some pretty sick prizes)

RULES:
* The goal is to climb 1907 feet at the ESRC Climbing Wall which is 25 feet tall. The wall must be climbed 76 times total PER TEAM. You must reach the top of the wall for each climb to count.
* Climbs must be completed between NOVEMBER 10th and NOVEMBER 24th to count.
* Each climb should be marked with a sticker, that will be handed out by the Adventure Leadership Staff upon completion of a climb.
* This challenge can be done in teams of FOUR OR LESS. Each team can have a maximum of ONE CLUB ROCK CLIMBING MEMBER. Everyone on the team must climb at least ONCE to be eligible for the rewards.
*The team that completes the challenge first will receive an additional prize from the Adventure Leadership Program.
*Climbing up the wall counts as one climb. Getting lowered does not count towards total climbs. Climbs must be registered during normal wall hours.
*There is no maximum limit on how many times you can climb in one session.
* If the climber falls, the climb DOES NOT COUNT. Boulder problems DO NOT COUNT. To complete the route, you must have a controlled finish at the top of the wall.
* A climb may be done more than once.
* When climbing multiple routes in a row on one rope, a climber should climb no more than 5 attempts in a row if there is someone else waiting to use that rope.
* You may make your own climb (rainbow, not following specific colored tape)

We hope to see y’all at the wall!
