Rock On '10 Climbing Competition

Rock on 2010 took place on January 24th in the Marcovich
Wellness Center at UW-Superior. The day started with
a kids climbing competition and continued into the afternoon with the adult climbing competition. Over 40 different routes were set ranging in difficulty from 5.4 to 5.12d. There were approximately 30 participants many of whom were from the Twin Ports area.

In addition to competing there was a large game of twister on the wall that entertained most everyone. It was a great competition with some amazing athletes who we hope return for Rock on 2011 on

Rock On '07 was a great year for competition.  Again the comp grew from the previous year to reach a capacity of 39 participants from Northland College, UMD, St. Scholastica, Lake Superior College, and the surrounding Duluth/Superior area.  For this year we had 33 new routes prepared to challenge climbers.  One new feature at this year's comp was the slack line that was set up for climbers who were taking a break from climbing.  After 4 hours of intense climbing the results were as follows.   For women's advanced Alex Eck claimed victory, for women's intermediate Christina Frost took first, and for women's beginner Amanda Robnik came out on top.  In the men's advanced Tyler Overby claimed victory, men's intermediate saw Curt Sahli come out on top, and men's beginner finished with Philip Tergerson in first.

Rock On '06 Climbing Competition

Rock On '06 was our second year for our annual climbing comp.  Participation grew from the previous year.  Due to the increase in participation more routes were introduced.  For this year we had 28 all new routes for climbers to test their skills against.  Another element that was introduced this year was the post comp challenge of the "Toe Hang."  A fun challenge where climbers suspend themselves upside down by their toes and are timed to see how long they can hold themselves up, they are tied in for safety of course.
