Get ready for a celebration of climbing and culture with DJ sets, exclusive merch, bouldering walls, panel discussions and an adrenaline-pumping competition. Whether you’re happiest on the wall or the ground, don’t miss the climbing event of the summer.
Test your limits as you go toe-to-toe with fellow climbers, tackling identical routes on a towering 45-foot wall with only deep water to break your fall. Climbers can register under the Open or Paraclimbing categories. Whether you’re a returning athlete or sending it for your first time, don’t miss your chance to leave it all on the wall.
