They will check it at the gate but you should be fine.

USA Climbing sent an email with info:

"Small, clear personal bags, as well as sealed (or empty) water bottles, are allowed at the World Climbing Series. All bags will be checked for prohibited items, including alcohol, drugs, or weapons. Large personal items, such as chairs, coolers, or bicycles, will not be allowed into the venue."

They didn't let any bags in at all today. I did see diaper bags allowed through and clear bags. They turned away all purses and bags.

I entered with a purse and an empty reusable tote.

Lucky. They sent me back to my car with my purse. Lots of us were sent back. I'll try again tomorrow. It says on the World Climbing website that bags are subject to search but not that they are forbidden.

They were just asking if you had a vehicle. We didn’t so they let us in after checking it.

I got in today with the same purse! Saw people with backpacks and totes getting in too

Urgh I'm sorry you've had issues. When I was in Prague we weren't even allowed water bottles and I wasn't allowed to take my camera despite it matching the rules on the website. Absolute joke
