Spectators  
Cost is $5 at the door.
Spectators must sign a waiver. It is best to do this ahead of time. www.ninjau.com/waiver. Young kids spectating may play in our Little Ninjas area.

Please do not come to the gym if you or your child are coughing, sneezing, have a temperature, or are feeling sick. If you have been around someone who is Covid positive we also ask that you stay home. If you have underlying health conditions or are 60+ years old, we encourage you to stay home.

Everyone must use hand sanitizer when entering the building. Liquid chalk is recommended for competitor use due to its high alcohol content for sanitizing. We will be selling small bottles of liquid chalk for $6 or large bottles for $18.

The course walk-through will be a video instead of in person. We will share videos with everyone the night before the competition via email.

General climbing chalk and general athletic tape are allowed. We recommend liquid chalk as it is alcohol-based so also acts as a sanitizer. Ninja\U does sell small liquid chalk bottles for $6 and large for $18. 

All podium spots get 2 medals and can pick a prize from our prize table!
Pros win $200 for 1st, $150 for 2nd, & $100 for 3rd!

We will have our usual snacks & beverages for sale at the front desk. There are many awesome restaurants surrounding our location.
