April 11, 2026
Compete at the Cascadilla Thrilla!
Cayuga Climbs' annual comp is a traditional red point competition welcoming climbers of all skill levels, comprising multiple categories ranging from Beginner to Expert. Come climb your heart out in an electric atmosphere of friendly rivalry!
Cayuga Climbs will award prize packages to the top 3 spots in each category (Youth, Beginner V0-V3, Intermediate V4-V6, and Open/Expert) for both Male/Non-Binary and Female/Non-Binary divisions.
The Open (Expert) Category for both Male (plus non-binary) and Female (plus non-binary) is for those climbers trying for one of the 6 spots in our onsight finals. Open competitors MUST register for the morning session. Anyone can register in open and we will do our best to make sure finals boulders are accessible, but we will not be setting youth-specific finals boulders.
The Youth Category is for ages 14 and under.

AM Session: 8:15am check-in, 9:00am start
PM Session: 12:15pm check-in, 1:00pm start
Competitors registering in the Expert Division should sign up for the AM session to allow time to rest if they earn a spot in the Finals. Finals start at 7pm.
