The Royal Burn is the final comp in our first-ever Burn Series in the Charlotte Region, wrapping up a season of climbing, connection, and growth. It’s more than just a competition—it’s about building confidence on the wall and celebrating the community that makes it all possible. Whether you joined us at Knight Burn or are stepping in for the first time, this is your moment to challenge yourself and climb together.

You’ll have three hours to climb as much as humanly possible in a super fun amped-up climbing session with all of your friends.

Each climb is worth points based on the difficulty of the climb. Your five highest point value climbs are compared to everyone else’s in your category.

The Novice category grades start at VB, so anyone can participate, even if you’ve never competed before!

At the end of each event, there will be a Finals Round for the Open category: 16 competitors duke it out to see who can make it to the top of three excruciatingly hard boulders displaying their strength and expertise. Come watch, we have beer! (21+ w/ID)
