Staging for Climbers and Their Gear
Staging for climbers will be at the Lower Level parking garage, near the North stairwell. Climbers are encouraged to deliver their gear to their designated staging area in the lower level when they arrive. There are banners present designating each department's staging area. Although there may be multiple teams from some cities/departments, they will all share the same staging area. Climbers are encouraged to sign the back of their department's banner however, DO NOT REMOVE YOUR DEPARTMENT'S BANNER FROM THE STAGING AREA! Banners that come up missing WILL NOT BE REPLACED!!!
TURNOUT GEAR AND SCBA ARE ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN IN THE BUILDING BEFORE THE CLIMB. It is imperative that climbers be respectful of all areas of the Epic Center. Please leave all turnout gear in your designated area in staging.
Heats and teams will be posted throughout the staging area, which further reinforces the need to get to the staging area early to make sure you know when you will be climbing.
Opening Ceremonies
Opening ceremonies will begin promptly at 8:20. Unless we have unfavorable weather, opening ceremonies will be in the outside parking lot on the north side of the Epic Center.
THE FIRST THREE TEAMS NEED TO BE READY TO START CLIMBING IMMEDIATELY AT 8:46 following the ceremony’s closing procession.
Parking

There are two designated spectator areas in the Epic Center; One is in the front entryway on the east side of the building, off of Main street. The other is the atrium area that is accessed off the north side of the building. The atrium will have monitors streaming live video of the climbers in the stairwells as well as a "kids corner" inside for kids to color and watch the climbers on another video monitor.
