others; for the "good and expert climbers" thirteen difficult blocks are available for each category (women
and men).
- In the block areas four judges will be available to give guidance and to help solve any eventual problems regarding the blocks. Ascent certification is always the responsibility of the partecipant.

There will also be a prize for the indoor climbing gym with the largest number of partecipants. Athletes can say which gym they are climbing for when they register at the Gerolasass stand.
RESPECT
THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
- Take your rubbish home! Don't litter the environment with cigarette ends, snack
or energy tablet wrappings, tins or plastic bottles ....
- Remember that you are a guest here. Have respect for the natural environment
and the private land where the boulders
are situated. Take care not to flatten the hay in the meadows, always keep to
the tracks at the edges of the meadows and to the marked trails.
- Do not modify the natural environment in any way, respect the plants, animals
and rocks!
- Park your car! All of the event areas can be easily reached on foot.
- Pay attention to your own safety and the safety of others! Climbing in a
natural environment involves exposure to objective, subjective and often
significant danger. The behaviour of each person in the climbing area is
potentially dangerous for himself and for others.
- It is the responsibility of each participant who, by registering, consciously
and freely decides to take part and to accept all risks deriving from the
activity, the environment and from his own actions or the actions of others, to
evaluate all potential danger and consequent risks.
- The choice of boulders and areas to be attempted must be approriate for your
technical ability and your current level of fitness.
- Remember to identify and evaluate your lines of descent down the boulders
before you start.
- Prepare an adequate number of crash pads at the base of the boulders.
- Pay attention and be careful not only during the climbs but also when moving
from one place to another along the paths. When it rains everywhere becomes
very slippery.
- Be aware of the surrounding environment, of how it changes, of your own actions and of others moving around you.
