More Than Just a Climbing Competition

After our first ever comp was a phenomenal success at the end of 2025, we couldn’t wait a whole year before getting the gang back together and a new competition on the calendar.

This year’s Crush Cup will take place earlier in the year, on May 23rd (the weekend after the long weekend).

There will be a few format changes compared to last year that we’ll be announcing a little closer to the comp. We’re also working to level up the entire experience with more prizes, more food and even more fun!

Details to come!

Ready to climb?

Secure your spot now. Registration includes day pass access, jam-style qualifiers, and entry to finals if you make the cut.

F.A.Q.

No. Both members and non-members are welcome to participate.

Mark your sends on your card (honour system). Top scores advance to finals.

We are still working on a few tweaks to the qualifier scoring system we used last year to hopefully discourage climbers from using all of their energy before the finals. More details to come.

Yes, shoe rentals are included with both entry types.

They can and should! We’ll have new climbs available for every age* and experience level.

Climbers must be 4 or older.

Comfortable athletic clothing. Climbing shoes (rentals available), chalk if you use it, and a water bottle.

Absolutely. There will be snacks and drinks all day. You can also pop out between attempts.
