Updates!

Dear NTU Odac-kers and Friends of ODAC (FOOs),

I wish to inform you with a heavy heart that all the vacation trips have been filled up!!! 

If you are one of those unfortunate ones who did not sign up in time, fret not! Please contact the trip leaders (contact info. available @ www.ntuodac.com) so that they can put your names down in the waiting list, because someone may drop out and may need replacements, and who knows if there is an overwhelming response another trip might be organised! 

But for now keep your fingers crossed; meanwhile you can consider joining our other fun-filled activities which are equally interesting and adventurous! They include: Kayaking expedition & Course, Adventure Trail Challenge (ntuodac.com/atc) & Pumpfest (ntuodac.com/pumpfest)!!! 

So why wait? Don't be disappointed again (or face the disappointment like some others did) by signing up today!! :)

Individual Event

1. Aim of the Fun Climb Category
To have a category exclusively catered for NTU STUDENTS ONLY. Target audiences are any NTU students who just picked up sports climbing. Climbers in NTU with climbing experience are strongly encouraged to join the competition.

2. Format of competition
The idea of the fun climb is a merger of both “Climb On” format and Pumpfest team category format. At the start of the fun climb, each participant will be issued a Route card for recording the routes. There will be an estimated of 4 to 5 routes per wall, with varying difficulty.
Participants are free to move around and discuss on how to tackle the routes. At the end of 2 hours, all route cards are to be submitted for the results to be tallied.
*Each participants are to attend ONLY one of the session. Please ask them for this additional piece of information when they sign up.

3. Eligibility Criteria
The objective of this category is to expose NTU students to the sport of bouldering thus it would not be of competitive standard.
Participants can only be taking part in the Novice category or none at all. No intermediate or open climbers are allowed to join.
