If I was in the audience, I'd walk up and stick a $1 bill in her harness while she was climbing.

I wouldn't knock the competiion without being there for the finals. They are really exciting and the crowd gets into it. The real genius is that the routes can be climbed in multiple ways. The climbers have to plan what destinations they want to make it to first, how to get there and how to focus limited energy. They could be points instead of money, but their is something viscerally exciting about the cash.

There's something so grimy about sending problems for ten dollar bills...

The $ bonus is nothing new in sports, but grabbing taped bills off of a wall walks a weird line between degrading and cheesy.

[KamedaFamily]

so she earned 400 dollars for 4 min?

[mrtsherman]

@KamedaFamily If you don't count the five hours of climbing it took her to make it into the finals!

[kciuku82]

@mrtsherman and 10 years of hard training!

[MultiFlyingPig]

@mrtsherman And all the training!

[mrtsherman]

Yup, those are tens, twenties and fifties. Whichever climber wins gets all the cash that was missed by the other climbers.

[ZomgZ1232]

I think those are cash

[wstlclimb]

pretty strange format
