@orthwyrm: Would be competing in a bouldering competition next week. The set up is <30ft tall and is a free fall into deep water without a rope. Should be fun!
Have any tips for a noob?

How much experience do you have?
Would recommend practicing with indoor bouldering to start with so you get used to your grip strength, distributing body weight, and importantly how to fall safely.
I've never done outdoors (assuming this competition is over a lake or something). Those surfaces could be slippery with all the moisture in the air... I'd bring some spare chalk in case it gets damp. Maybe test your shoes when damp too and ensure they maintain grip.

I have zero experience but have climbed a coconut tree few years back. The organizer is a friend so doing it for the fun.
True, it'd be slippery coz its humid af here. Was thinking of doing it bare foot, i have a five finger vibram- think that'd be better?

Hmm, would be tempted to do it barefoot as you can feel the surface better!
Climbing shoes have hardened fronts that offer good support on small ledges, but vibrams won't get you that...

Cool. Thnx for that. Doing barefoot then, not going to sell sats to buy a climbing shoe for one event. :)
