KAYA Legends

Legends is a fun way to celebrate sending, climbing a lot and sharing beta in local climbing communities. There are many ways to become a “legend” by filtering via a variety of vectors (time, climb type, gender, category, top X sends, verified).

Categories

Climbers are automatically placed into a respective category based on their hardest logged grade. A climber can change their hardest grade by editing their profile.

Bouldering:

  • Beginner (VB - V3 | 2A - 6A+)

  • Intermediate (V4 - V6 | 6B - 7A)

  • Advanced (V7 - V10 | 7A+ - 7C+)

  • Elite (V11 - V14 | 8A - 8B+)

  • Pro (V15 - V17 | 8C - 9A)

Routes:

  • Beginner (5.4 - 5.10d | 3 - 6b)

  • Intermediate (5.11a - 5.12c | 6b+ - 7b+)

  • Advanced (5.12d - 5.13c | 7c - 8a+)

  • Elite (5.13d - 4.14c | 8b - 8c+)

  • Pro (5.14d - 5.15d | 9a - 9c)

POINTS

Top Beta Contributors: 1pt for each ascent with a beta video attached.

Top Volume: 1pt for each ascent.

Top Sends: Points are based on the climb’s associated grade. Points for each grade are based on an exponential scale to reward sending more difficult climbs over volume of easier climbs. A flash/onsight ascent is awarded a 1.5x multiplier. A repeat ascent is worth 0.25x (a quarter) of the base points. Grade-specific points can be found below:

Verified vs unverified

Verified means “video-verified” so when an ascent has a beta video attached it’s considered “verified” and has the green shield. When all of a climber’s ascents are “verified” they will also have a green shield on their scorecard. When the verified green shield is shown it is the ultimate sign of credibility such that the climber’s points are of the highest level of legitimacy.
