Tell me more…
We found an amazing venue at Lago Linda Hideaway where we are able to host all primary festival programming, and stay on-site with options for camping and cabin rentals. This event is smaller and more intimate than our flagship event, with a limited number of tickets for sale. This scale allows for more opportunities for intimate connection and community building, more opportunities for learning and sharing with and from one another, and finding ways to be able to bring our full selves to climbing and the outdoors ❤️
Thank you to our sponsors Arc’teryx, Scarpa, and Crux Forged; and to our guide service partner Rise Outside.
