Belay Buddies @ The Heights
Friday nights are Belay Buddy nights! How it works:
- Book your climbing session as normal.
- Ask the staff for a Belay Buddies harness tag on arrival.
- Proceed to respectfully introduce yourself to others wearing the tag!
- Keep safety in mind, of course, and ask questions of your potential climbing partner to make sure you’re on the same page about experience and ability.
- It’s okay to say ‘no thanks’ or ‘not today’ if someone isn’t a good fit.
- Remember it’s not a dating event, we’re here for climbing partnerships.
Some experience required. You must be Belay Certified in order to participate. You must have a partner to take the belay test; testing in advance is strongly recommended.

boulder league 2022
Boulder league is a fun, friendly team-based event created to build camaraderie in the community, and provide a little extra fun by setting more climbs than usual throughout the league climb. It was also created to connect the broader climbing community, with a cross-gym championship for the top teams from all participating gyms in the area (Hive, Project, Coastal historically). You and your teammates (4-5) will compete out of 1 Hive location – so pick your favourite most accessible one, as only that gym’s “League” climbs will count towards your score! You and your team must be registered by October 23rd, 2022 in order to participate, as the League will begin on October 17, 2022 for PoCo and Van, while Surrey and North Shore will start on October 19, 2022. Two teams from each location will be invited to attend the finals at Project in Cloverdale on Nov 18, 2022.
How it works
Rules & Instructions for Registration & Participation
The Rules and Regulations for running The Hive’s Boulder League were developed in conjunction with the Pacific Bouldering League founding gyms – Project, The Hive, and Coastal Climbing. These rules are intended to keep this fun competition fair for all. Rules of the PBL championships may vary slightly, as it is not run on KAYA.
Teams
- Teams must include 4-5 people who are available to compete each week for the duration of the League.
- Each member of the team must register and compete at ONE Hive location (Or register your team independently at multiple locations).
- You may be on more than one team, but make sure you can commit to both for the duration of the League. We suggest climbing on one highly competitive team and one more casual, ‘just for fun team’ since you can’t climb on two teams at the PBL Championships.
- We encourage teams to be gender-diverse; this is a requirement to compete in the PBL Championships. Please note that teams are to self-regulate this aspect of their team dynamics. (We hope this is not necessary to say, but just in case: please do not expect folks to out themselves for the benefit your team’s qualification, or assume anyone’s gender based on your assumptions of how someone of a particular gender presents themselves to the world.)
Climbing
- Start dates for the league will be staggered, to align with each gym’s setting schedule. Only climbs with League tags in KAYA count.
- Each member may only count each climb towards their total score once per interval (7 days from the day a climb is set)
- multiple team members may count the same climb
- ONLY the top 5 climbs per interval (week) are counted toward your score
- You may repeat league climbs each week, but it will not count more than once per interval (e.g. you can log the same 2 hex this interval and the following interval) – this is different from previous leagues. YOU MUST RE-CLIMB IT IN ORDER TO COUNT IT!
- Climbs do not expire – those tagged ‘League’ in Kaya will be valid for the duration of the League.
Scoring
- Complete a climb start to finish in order to count it
- You must submit your climbs for each interval during that week’s interval; new scoring interval will begin every 7 days (e.g. the second ‘week’ or interval will begin on the on the 8th day of the league)
- Top 5 climbs per team member count towards your final score
- Final Score = (total team points)/(total team members)
- See “Injuries or missing Teammates” below; No substitutions of team members for Finals (this doesn’t mean reverting to the OG teammate though; previously made substitutions stand)
- The honour system is used for scoring – teams can self-police and cross-team police; any concerns should be brought to league manager or Events Manager
- Any unsportsperson-like behaviour observed by league members or staff may result in disqualification
- Auto bumping is enabled – if you send multiple problems above your listed grade, you will get bumped into a different VMax
- Your VMax should be the grade you regularly send in 3-5 attempts
- V0 = Hard 1/Easy 2 Hex
- V1 = Solid 2 hex
- V2 = Hard 2/ Easy 3 Hex
- V3 = Solid 3 Hex
- Etc.
Injuries or Missing Teammates
A team’s average will be calculated by (a maximum of) one less member (5 become /4, 4 become /3) due to:
- Injuries: Must have proof of actual injury (doctor or physio note ideally)
- Illness/ major unforeseen event (staff will make a judgement call)
These may not be stacked. So a team short 2 members due to one or both of these issues may not divide by 2 less. (Sorry)
