New for this winter, Rope League! This league is all about fun, climbing, and community with a healthy dose of competition!

Climbers 16 and older of all abilities are invited to get in on the action. League scoring is based on a relative grade limit for each climber so you can score as many points for climbing 5.7 as you can for 5.12.

How does it work? Each week, you'll attempt the fresh set, log your sends, and rack up points for your team. The top 3 routes you complete will make up your score. You'll use the KAYA mobile app to make keeping score easier and...
