The great thing about having nine gym siblings, (and we’re expecting!) is that there is ALWAYS something going on. This week it’s The Studio Climbing’s turn to host a party, and we can’t wait! The Touchstone Climbing Series, or #TSC2014 if you speak hashtag, will continue with a bouldering competition. “It’s going to be RAD,” said Eric Sanchez, the foreman route setter at The Studio. “We’re going to set routes that fill the whole gym with awesome problems.” TCS2014 will bring Touchstone Climbers from all over the Bay Area to San Jose. And who can say no to beer from Strike Brewing, pizza from Pizza my Heart, and oodles of prizes?!
“A can’t wait to host TCS at our gym,” said Gym Manager Diane Ortega. “These things are my favorite day of the month – can’t wait to see what surprises this comp brings!”
Here is how you can be prepared for the bouldering comp tomorrow:
#1. Print our a paper waiver
It’s a Touchstone Comp! Which means you need an signed paper waiver in hand. Do members need them? Yes. Do guests need them? Yes. Does it matter that you’ve filled one out before.. no! You can print one out right here, or show us you r best John Hancock at the gym when you arrive. Print our a waiver!
#2. Have your comp code in hand
If you have already competed in a Touchstone Climbing Comp in the last 2 years, you already have a 3 letter code. Hopefully it wasn’t the same as your ebay password…. To issue you a score card at the gym so you can get yo’ climb on, we need that code! If you think you have one… just check. Remember the code and have it ready when you come to the gym. Bonus points will be awarded for people who have their code written atop their waiver!
If this is your first comp – HOLY COW! Get psyched. All you need to do is register to get your code. It takes about…. 2 minutes. Maybe 3 if you didn’t pay attention in typing class. Click here to get your code. It should bring you to a screen like this one:
#3. Get psyched!
Seriously. San Jose has one of the best bouldering communities around, and with an entire gym at our disposal, this comp is going to be a blast. Remember to document to fun. Share the magic of the comp, and remember to tag your photos with #TCS2014 and #touchstoneclimbing so we can share in the fun. We’ll pick our favorite and you shall earn a special prize!
